The Memories Remain With Me

The memories remain with me of the places i have been And the people i have met and the beauty i have seen We physically age every year past our prime But the best of good memories live on in time The good and not good memories we garner on life's way A journey that has to end for us one day And since time it does seem is catching up on me So much of the World i never will see Yet i do live far south of the place of my youth From the old rushy fields where my manhood took root People to my life come and go but the memories with me will stay For as long as i live till my last night and day Of the people i have met and the places to i have been Yet so little of the World i can claim to have seen.
