An Old Favorite Song

An Old Favorite Song

 

As I sit here

Four A.M. and wide awake

Looking back upon my life

Nostalgically, I contemplate

 

Memories that linger

Memories that fade

And some that never happened

By fate I never made

 

Who does one call upon

When dreams are not enough

To find purpose in end results

Sometimes so tough

 

And here I am today

That rear view mirror so clear

The past carved in stone

Reviewed year by year

 

Living in the past

I know is not where I belong

But I’ll smile as there on my radio

Plays an old favorite song
