Good Memories Live On

The laughter of children in the park playground at play Takes me to another time and to far away In the town park on Summer evenings we played football For a couple of hours until the gloam of nightfall But all of that now does seem long ago And time that ages everything has become my foe In the nineteen fifties the young boys and girls back then Now long past their physical prime ageing women and men And though the clocks on our lives ever keep ticking fast The laughter of children takes us to the past To our younger years when we enjoyed our fun Playing with our young friends in the evening sun Until the gloam after sunset in the town park far away Good memories live on as the wise one does say.
