Today is your day Boomer! Boomers, do you like music and poetry? I found this poem on Facebook and I think it is just perfect for our generation!
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name.
I’ve gone to Kansas City, I sang in the sunshine.
I’ve been on the road again, with Georgia on my mind.
Like a rolling stone, I’ve given peace a chance.
I’ve put a camel to bed and danced the last dance.
Mr. Tambourine man played a song for me,
I’ve whispered words of wisdom, let it be.
I’ve fallen into a burning ring of fire and walked the line,
To all the girls I’ve loved before, you were always on my mind.
I’ve been everywhere, I’ve been so lonesome I could cry,
I’ve driven my Chevy to the levee when the levee was dry.
I’ve been to Itchy coo Park in a yellow submarine.
I’ve made the scene in a time machine.
I’ve done the Hokey Pokey and turned myself around.
I’ve welcomed baby back to the poor side of town.
I’ve followed the tracks of my tears down a long and winding road.
I’ve kept on searching for a heart of gold.
I’ve sought shelter from the storm, I’ve sat on the dock of the bay.
I’ve rocked around the clock, on a sunshiny day.
I’ve knocked on Heaven’s door, while blowing in the wind.
Joy to the world, those were the days my friend.
Lay lady lay, in crimson and clover.
It’s been a hard day’s night, the party’s over.
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
