Seeing My Past

I ran into her yesterday Oh, what a surprise I could still see the sparkle That shined there in her eyes I recognized that smile That spread across her face I looked at her hair There I could see a trace Of the years that had gone by How it colored her hair grey But, she still looked as pretty As she did back in the day We passed the time just talking Catching up on each others life She said she was a long time married I told her I never did have a wife She said, she had to go now As her grandchild tugged at her sleeve There was a look between us That said, neither wanted to leave So, I gave her a goodbye hug Then she and her granddaughter walked away Her and I had our chances Back in our younger days Funny how the years slip by And fills one with regret But as we grow older we realize What we want we don't always get 10-8-18/RjH
