We gather here, a class once moreTo
reminiscence, like years beforeUpon the days and
joys we knewBefore our school-aged time was
throughYet, as we meet, with memories nearWe
think of those, always held dear -Our friends
and classmates, passed awayTo be with God, every
school day.

They sit at desks, resting on cloudsSurrounded
by angelic crowdsWhere they shall be
forevermoreThe friends and schoolmates we
adoreTheyll be with us in every prayerUntil
the day, we join them thereWithin the walls of
Heavens classWhere friendships formed shall
always last.
4
Until that hour, we join againAn empty chair, we
will maintainIn honor of the life-long bondWe
forged with those, now passed beyond The friends
with whom we learned lifes truthWhose bonds
lasted far from our youthAnd shall remain
forever nearWhen we gather, year after year.

This is an empty room with an empty chair. But
what is now void can yet be filled, if only you
share this PowerPoint with your relatives or
friends.
