In Memory
of Youth (In memory of my dad.)
Hear poem read in
Real Audio or mp3 format by Earl Rickey.
Order sheet music
for this song called Painting Pictures.
As oft I sit in pensive mood ,
I recall the passing of younger years.
And seem to wonder once again,
to days of boyhood dear.
Where are you now?
Does ever your memory cling
to the days of a younger sphere?
But only an echo comes rolling back.
The silence that fills the years.
And this I ask as the world moves on,
and the burdens of life unfold,
to ever remember,
to look on life,
through the eyes of a boy,
now old.
