Sometimes I like to reminisce
About memories of my youth,
Growing up, learning about life,
And recalling hurtful truth.
As in a dream my emotions flow.
I remember the times we shared.
The gentle arms of a parent's love;
We always knew they cared.
Dark shadows sometimes interfere,
And I think of those now gone.
And the old house that fell into disarray
Then the darkness turns to dawn.
A gentle rain starts falling,
Like anguished tears that fell,
When God took our loved ones Home,
And we had to bid farewell.
God did not promise a perfect life,
Because those we love are mortal.
When our earthly life is ended,
We pass to a Heavenly portal.
The time has come to put away
Old thoughts that crowd my mind,
Of another time and another place,
And of loved ones left behind.
I say goodbye to thoughts of old
As I leave this ghostly place,
Looking toward the present times,
New memories to embrace.
