The Lost Sound

Why oh why should I have this woe of this my birth tongue and it’s style, the old days have gone like a long lost song, minds of a past nursed in thought. As I sit with my truth to the days gone by I heed the sound of that, which is past my gran, my mum, my dad the folk from this dale God did bless. Yet now it is the start to the new day but the same where one does roam, the tongue in tone blends all no clue to whence one came, as speech has lost its trait! © Harry J Horsman 2013
