Down That Lane
DOWN THAT LANE
I have been walking down this lane all day
Alone, looking across hoping to find
some gems filled in a box of silver grey
My legs ache yet I must go through this grind
If I miss this walk sleep eludes my eyes
As I remain awake and stare at walls
Just turning in bed, heaving some deep sighs
Unable to get up when morning calls
A ray of hope still lingers in me though
That one day the treasure will be found
I shall stroke it with love and let tears flow
Keep it close never let it move around
You may well have guessed what it means to me
That box has long lost childhood memories.
