We were all much younger, happier then, And untouched by heartache, sadness; In dreams, we go back again and again, And bring to our hearts gladness! From Grandpa Frank, father of the Fields, And Miss Pauline, who married his boy; The hand of fate's no longer concealed, As countless descendents live the joy. When we were young, our parents were, too, And each day was a new surprise; When we were young, all skies were blue, And life was sunrise, apple pies! In the good old days, we laughed a lot, And were high spirited and free; And remembered what time had forgot, And was unable to foresee. In the beginning, we were carefree, Back in those young love days; I caught a glimpse of all eternity, Once, in the good old days!

Love that line, 'We remembered what time forgot' -- much as you, the poet, has in this grand memoir of days gone by. I really enjoy this one. So cheery! Cheers and Cheerio! :) Gershon

Evelyn, What I see through your eyes...truly a gift you have. And what I wouldn't give to go there to return this one marvelous favor. If ever they come to call, I'll say hello to Pauline and Grandpa Frank. -Richard

Listening to Anita's sultry voice and reading poetry on a Saturday night. Maybe not everyone's ideal time. But enough for me. -Richard

My humble and heartfelt thanks for your kind words, Richard. If Pauline and Grandpa Frank ever come to call, we'll say hello to them together, because I never got to meet them, either. I almost feel like I did, though, through all the stories my mother used to tell. Blessings, Evelyn
