Memory Lane.

Memory Lane.I’ve wandered a thousand times down memory lane,
Just to catch a glimpse of you again.
Once it was easy to recall your face,
I saw you in many a familiar place.
Now as time pushes on and I grow old,
My memory dims the scent grows cold.
That once friendly face soon gone for good,
Youth would bring it back I know it would.
Next even your name will disappear,
And this my friend is my greatest fear.
For then there is something I will never do again,
Look for you down memory lane.

Dear Bern

I adored walking down memory lane with you ... I believe this one should be split up ... it would give it more impact ... I’ve wandered a thousand times down memory lane, Just to catch a glimpse of you again. Once it was easy to recall your face, I saw you in many a familiar place. Now as time pushes on and I grow old, My memory dims the scent grows cold. That once friendly face soon gone for good, Youth would bring it back I know it would. Next even your name will disappear, And this my friend is my greatest fear. For then there is something I will never do again, Look for you down memory lane. Just like that ... thanks for sharing this one its wonderful love and hugs Jayne-Chloe x x x
