Memories of Yesteryear

There I was walking down memory lane taking a trip back to old Kilmarnock town stepping back to routes of the past where I was brought up makes one astound So many changes since I have left the place is not anything like the same took the route I walked on Saturday nights 60 minute trek every week after the game Passed by my old primary school now closed down all a rumbled heap the playground left with grass overgrown memories of that place go way down deep The wall still stands goalposts and all paint lasted well for all these years there saved penalty from Johnny Hub ex-soccer star but still had all his gears Followed the road past the school down to the river at Templeton Burn stood there letting mind float back many times past think where to turn Life has gone many ways since then some for the worse but some been good it’s good to look back to remember thankful to God His purpose I’ve understood (Just some thoughts from walking back to my route I walked every saturday night coming home from my favourite soccer team's match in Scotland, I went back this route a few weeks ago for the first time for over 30 years.)
