I Remember When
Written by: Wilfred Mellers

Took a stroll down memory lane
When shadows danced on my windowpane
Reminiscing on days long gone bye
Memories I can no longer rely
Romancing on future's past
Not so long ago yet it didn't last
Wide awake in my dream
Fairies danced on a light beam
Nothing ever is, as it seemed then
Let the Church say Amen!
The joy once shared when you were there
Life lived without a care
I remember when time would last
Gone not those memories of future past
The days seem so much brighter
Melancholy now the writer
Summers past to days of September
Was it as good as I remember?
Everything seemed so much better then
So much time I had to spend
Was it all just pretend?
Those days now have come to and end
Boys now turn to men
Thoughts now I pen
Hearts once were broken takes time to mend
Pockets empty without money to spend
Nothing to borrow nor I to lend
Conversations are now text we send
Backstabbers are so-called friends
Even forever now even ends
I'll take the time to unwind
New memories now I'll find
Mountains yet I have to climb
The future has no arrival time
Saw the post with a question sign
Relaxing and having a glass of wine
