While driving past a farm today, Old memories began to play Like sliding pictures in my mind And looking back, I quickly find The place where I spent childhood days. The farmhouse rises through a haze Of years departed and time past, Until it stands revealed at last, Just as it was when I was young, Before the siren song was sung That lured my family away And sometimes in my prayers, I pray, That I will see it just once more. Though it won't be quite as before, I hope the meadows green and fair, Still nurture horse and cattle there. That someone plows and plants the fields And watches while each acre yields, The bounty of a fruitful stead, Where men and beast are richly fed!

Thank you. Your poem lets me remember days gone by. Time marches on and changes the present settings, but not our memory. Melton |
