The shadows of the past
Fall back and forth
As I climb up the frosty steps of life
Each year flies past in the misty memories
Stored in the blinkers of yesteryears
The aching years revive the silhouettes of childhood
Now camouflaged with the
Raging signs of mingling pain and happiness
Filling the heart with fresh glories gained
The gift of life drowses at times
The dim limp losses dried and staked
The long spent aspirations… tingle and delight
To warm the heart by beating fast
Drumming its steps to heal and restore
The aching pains of yesterday
To lift the spirit now ready to fly
Leaning over the years so gray
May goodness flourish
The spirit refresh
The thrilling tickles of yesterday
