An Invitation to Reminisce
Old friend, won’t you join me late tonight?
We can watch by dimming candlelight,
A play with young characters in motion,
To their ideals and passions, such devotion.
Their lives filled with great meaning and import,
While not thinking too much that life is short,
We can watch as they love, fight, and make up.
One day it will be gone when they wake up.
We can sigh and cry and laugh till it’s late,
Though, to these characters, we can’t quite relate.
While the dramatic players on stage are us,
Their concerns tonight seem meaningless.
