"Memories"


When I was a young girl, I strolled in the woods,

and ate wild berries, boy were they good.

But, now that I'm older, I set in my chair and

stroll down the path of memories so fair.

I remember running through the pines

all covered with snow, they were so beautiful.

Oh! where did the time go?

There was sledding and dances, school fairs to attend,

also roller skating, and fun with my friends.

Then I was married and a mother of five.

How those little ones kept me active and alive.

Oh my! where did the time go?

I remember the smell of the babies so dear.

The sweet little sounds that came to my ears.

But now they are grown and have babes of their own.

And made me a Gramma, so grand and so great !!

Oh, dear me! where did the time go?

Time comes and time goes, but my memories remain.

Bringing me pleasure, as I stroll down memories lane.

It's always a delight to be back in my chair and

stroll down the path of memories so fair.

And wonder again as I look at the snow,

where oh where did the time go?
