Memory Lane.

• Come stroll with me down memory lane,
• Your life will never more be the same.
• Remember when you were young and so agile,
• Forget the now, forget that you are fragile.
• As a child you could not wait,
• Christmas. Birthdays, came always so late.
• Time seemed to go slower in the good old days,
• Over the years you have altered your ways.
• Think back to your first day at school,
• Excitement in the classroom and your very own stool.
• Sitting at your desk listening to Teachers voice,
• You would sooner be playing; this is not of your choice.
• A swim in the river with kids of your age,
• Not in a classroom it was just a cage.
• The cinema was then all the rage,
• The first cigarette you were under age.
• Then the first date that you remember so well,
• A first shy kiss your parents you did not tell.
• The school dance you ask what shall I wear,
• In those days about your appearance you did care.
• Schooldays left behind you your very first job,
• Your sweetheart has left you; time for a sob.
• A new romance serious this time.
• You hear Church bells ringing what a lovely chime.
• Marriage then children doesn't time go fast?
• Dwell on the good thoughts they will not last.
• Now dwell on the thrills and joys in your life,
• The memories pour through some cut like a knife.
• It has been pleasant this trip down memory lane,
• When you are up to it we can do it again.
