I Remember With Fondness

I remember with fondness those i may never again meet That i have not seen since i lived in Millstreet Some of them at peace now forever does lay And some as i am from Millstreet ageing far away And some of them in Ireland did choose to stay And live not far from where they first looked on the light of day On my flights of fancy them i often see Theyhave not aged a day in my memory But time changes faces i have come to realize And some of them in the flesh today i may not recognize For the town and the countryside in view of Clara i have shed my last tears And though i remember with fondness people i have not seen for years Far south of where i went to primary school My home is where i live close to Warrnambool.
