Reminiscences

How can I ever forget

The house in which I was born

Where I first saw the dawn

Where I woke up in the morn

Stifling a sleepy yawn..

 

How can I ever forget

The pleasure-filled happy days

The chirping of the jays

The house – so like a maze

My own innocent ways ?

 

How can I ever forget

The roses pink and white

The eagles’ soaring flight

The marbles, top and kite

The twinkling city light?

 

How can I ever forget

The sweet sugary pie

The white clouds in the sky

The barley and the rye

My old dog that did die??

 

How can I ever forget

The pine trees green and tall

The shrubs atop the knoll

The games of bat and ball

My play-mates, John and Paul.

 

How can I ever forget

The ignorance of my youth

The innocence that time did loot

That now in fairness and truth

I am wicked and uncouth???????
