How wistful the song nostalgia plays As old park benches come into view, With memories of those cherished days When my thoughts always returned to you As old park benches come into view I recall love's whisper in the breeze, When my thoughts always returned to you As spring's melody blew through the trees I recall love's whisper in the breeze Those songs of the heart were all we knew, As spring's melody blew through the trees Now the Autumn mist bids me adieu Those songs of the heart were all we knew With memories of those cherished days, Now the Autumn mist bids me adieu, How wistful the song nostalgia plays 6-18-2020 Feelings of Nostalgia Poetry Contest - Photo 2 Sponsor: Eve Roper
