For Your Past Are You One

For your past are you one who has never shed tears? As you thought of old friends in the now long gone years With them you played football in a town far away Have you ever wondered about them where they might be today? Since you left the Hometown you must go back in time On your twenty first year and quite close to your prime Your oldest grandchild has a daughter of three And you are not the man that you once used to be The boys and girls you grew up with them do you recall? They too like you are well into their life's Fall Some of them their remains in cemeteries lay Whilst some like you from the Hometown live far away Whilst some in the home-place are growing old today Their children in mid life showing their years in gray.
