Phantoms Passing I went back to the old, home place And wandered there awhile. There were so many cherished spots And things that made me smile. The wood gazebo, there I spied, Half hidden in the trees. I went and sat upon its steps And listened to the breeze. It sang to me of yesterdays And picnics in the sun. Of summer nights and sweet delights. Of young lives, just begun. Where are they now, those children who All shared this spot with me And do they ever travel back, If just in memory? I stayed until the evening threw Long shadows on the grass And all the stars in Heaven came, To watch my phantoms pass!

Hello Betty Lou I am sure many of us feel this way, I know I do, especially when I visit the home where I grew up. I walk into my dad's shed and I feel his presence and the memories come flooding back. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |
