Berlin Days Poem by Charlie F. Kane

I look at the photographs to remember.
I take them out sometimes.
I recall when we were younger.

We passed through the city in another lifetime,
And we mocked the performing mime.
I look at the photographs to remember.

As we stood next to the wall we heard the bells chime
And we believed we could be heroes frozen in time.
I recall when we were younger

I told you my plans and you gave me a smile
You said that now was just not the time.
I look at the photographs to remember.

All men wish that they could turn back time,
And I would do it, as I look at your photograph’s smile.
I remember when we when younger.

As I remember our Berlin days I write you these rhymes,
In the hope that you remember those times.
I look at the photographs to remember.
I recall when we were younger.
