JOYFUL TRIPS INTO THE PAST

Memories so sacred began
As moments once lived
It would be wonderful
To crown all the players
With a wonderful array of jewels
But they are gone; many of them
And all I can do is dream;
Remember the magic wonders
Listen for angel wings
One will laugh until he cries
And cry as long as the tears last
The world of mystery and beauty
Times that must stay in the past
 
So many events and gatherings
My mind would like to linger
But there is today to live
A gentle little reminder
What is past is gone
Except in my own mind’s eye
I struggle, but start; today begins
Cannot sit around and dream again
Must get moving; get things done
Begin a new page; a new din
When it is over I may look back
Wish things were different like
The morning’s light; not the night’s black
