" The Fall that Changed My Life Forever"
By, Cheryl Harwell Bailey

I was only 16 year old, in the Fall of 1969. 
That's when my eyes first beheld him. My everlasting love.
 He was standing there right in front of me. I was standing there right in front of him.
 Then my soul whispered, as goose bumps ran wild, 
THAT'S HIM!
 I thought I would faint, then I pulled myself together, 
walked quickly past him to find a seat on the bus.

 That Fall day, well, I can think of no words, to express how much that day means to me.
 I wonder how many young students meet "The One" when school begins in the "Fall"?

I always loved the "First" day of school preparations.
 The aroma of new leather shoes, the soft mohair sweater, shiny school supplies, 
meeting up with old friends, & meeting the new teacher.

 But nothing has ever come close to the "Fall of 1969.
