Childhood Memories

I can remember that far back When we were young and had to pack For a far away place we had never been A place in the sun we had never seen We had to learn to change our lives fast For these times were going to last For many years some good some not But for many years this was to be our lot The years went past slow for me Not quite as happy as I hoped they would be Maybe if you had been near I may have been able to clear My head of all those lonely times Spent wishing for much colder climes Wher thing had all been safe Back home in that great old place Where we had all grown up together Often in all kinds of weather A mum and Dad we had it all Until one day when it was all to fall Apart i will never forget Our lives would change from that day next Never again to be the same I dream and wish that all the pain Would leave me now But I am not sure how you can just put the past away And get on with another day But i must not dwell upon the past For some things were not meant to last
