Memories Poem by alan brown

I sit here all alone at night
thinking of the past.
Did I look far enough ahead
when I thought it would never last.

I think of times when I was young
so full of hopeful joy.
and realize now that the times were good
when I was just a boy.

As the years passed and people changed
not all for the good of life
I wish that I could start again
before I took on my wife.

Four children did I have
one girl and three large boys
But no matter what I did in life
they were my pride and joy.

Now time has passed and I am older now
but I still feel the same.
I might be older in time gone by
but not inside my brain.

The hurt and want that haunted me
is a figment of my past.
And now I live in harmony
With memories that will last.
