Grace and Eloquence knew you by name.
Playing together while you were young.
The sweet smell of the summer breeze.
Lessons learned as you sung.
___________________________________
Songs of the youth you once lived..
White cloth flowing in the breeze.
Wheat colored hair whisked in the wind.
Racing across fields with youthful ease.
__________________________________
Think ye oh back upon those days.
Fondly remembering as we were.
Cherished memories that we all save.
Another tomorrow of that we were sure.
__________________________________
When life came in with the seasons.
The cheering laughter of a friend.
Secrets we all knew and saved.
Who would think it to ever end?
_________________________________
Life has that way of fooling you.
Especially when were young.
Always promising another day.
Forever another song to be sung.
_________________________________
But like all great things we enjoy.
The bill one day comes due.
And as your friends all pass away.
You wonder if next may be you.
