Ahh-The Good Ole Days

Late last night, home, sitting by myself... The house quiet with only the ticks from the clock to be heard Starring at nothing, into space...stuck Suddenly, from the corner of my eye... A picture of me and my family that rests upon the bookshelf...captures me Mom, dad, myself, and all of my other six siblings... Gathered around the dining room table, laughing, enjoying ourselves... Having fun while we celebrate our Christmas dinner. It brought back some great memories...as I sat thinking to myself My dad, his face, looking so proud and joyful. My mom, well, she was mom... The beautiful loving soul that she always was.... Smiling, looking about with pure love in her eyes Me, I was young...I was also oblivious Oblivious of the fact, that one day in my late fifties... I would looking at this old photo teary-eyed and saying to myself... Ahh...the good ole days
