Linger a Little More Shadows be my beckoning call through a door, down misty hall beseech me to look o'er wall, But looking o'er I cannot bear, though voices faded do I hear sounding close and full of cheer, For beyond impenetrable wall I would heed the shadowy call to see the faces, loved voices all. Would had I but known though life's forces shown through yon past's door, I would not have flown so high, so long gone, but have lingered a little more. Age be wise to one still fair, knowing now how much I dare to revisit the past, 'tisn't fair… To not be able to once again hold the people that were true gold for they are now beyond old. Heart be broken o'er words unsaid yet they fill this empty head some days, I would be lead… Would had I but known though life's forces shown through yon past's door, I would not have flown so high, so long gone, but have lingered a little more. ©KRJ 23 January, 2000 Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Thank you all for reading. When I read it aloud to myself, quietly, I had tears as well. But given my age, I figured I was "prone." Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

If Sy ever gets around to reading this, I'm sure he will love it! (hehe) I revisited my college recently and it looked exactly the same as it did in 1965. And that was also sad. Loved the poem Liz |
