Childhood memories
Of long ago~
Left that town
Fifty years before it's so~
Went back again
Just to see~
If it was at all the same
As once was to me~
Not at all
Was it the same~
I saw so much unhappiness
And back biting pain~
All talking about
The other one~
Telling all of what
They felt they had done~
Living in their imaginative past
They told of stories many~
Putting others down to climb higher still
Kindness I found hardly any~
Mostly older now by far
The ones I as a child loved so~
Their memories had like candles
Almost lost their glow~
Ever so many
Had wasted their lives~
Like mountain bees
Never to leave their hives~
A sadness after all this time
I was surrounded by~
So cynical and negative
And blame their cry~
I found a friend
I never knew before~
A wiser and kind person
A friend for ever more~
This friend had as well
Came back again~
And felt the sadness
And saw loneliness and pain~
Childhood memories
I retain them still~
But return again
I never will~
Pulling each other down
To gain their hight~
Talking badly of each other
Behind backs day and night~
I bit my tongue
With what I heard and saw~
As they went back into their pasts
To gather their pride and more~
I left that place
A wiser but sadder soul~
I hoped that some things
Would be as in days of old~
But their vanity and time and age
Had taken it's toll it's true~
So sad what time and age
It can really to some do~
My childhood memories
I remember them still~
But go back again this lifetime
I never will~
Childhood memories
As lovely as they really were back then~
Are better left as memories
I'll never return ag'en~
