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

A fa;vourite song of mine too A.P. and this engaging poem on looking backwards really shows memories can linger within our hearts. Great read.
Thank you Fay. All the best memories are right there where it matters most, in the heart.
Memories are reflected in many of the songs we heard back in the day. Good write.
Andy, I've lost track, there are so many. LOL.
A fine write and song AP. I see it's from 1973. I've forgotten some of the words. I was not singing hardly at all then (hooray you say?!) lol.
You know orchi, when I was just a young boy, there was a song on the radio that I thought might be you. It was called, "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha, Ha Hee" Go to Youtube and type it in, it's a real song. If I know you, you'll love it.
Oh lol.
Great write AP
Thanks Michael. Appreciate the read.
Thanks for your poem, AP! I've been recently feeling a little nostalgic myself.
Nostalgia gets the best of them WC. Thanks for reading.
