Do you remember the day we first met?

It was in a queue

Outside a school

One dull September day

 

We were two frightened little boys

Holding our mothers hand for comfort

There were other boys too

But they didn't appear daunted

 

Our names were called out

Mothers whispered reassuring words

And encouraged us to cross the Rubicon

To begin our life long learning journey

 

Taught by inspirational teachers

We flourished in this fertile school

It moulded our characters

And fired our imaginations

 

We learnt the 3Rs

And much more besides

Were encouraged to question assumptions

Argue for and against topics debated

 

Our life long friendship began at the school

The school days have long gone

We went seperate ways

We always had diverse interests

No matter where we end up

We always keep in touch
