Plagued by memories

Sitting in a rocking chair trying to recall the passing years clutching a bible, he sits by the phone for a voice to remind him he is not all alone He can't help but wonder where the years have all gone and questions his purpose as life carries on He thinks of his family with great admiration the laughter and love that built his foundation Plagued by the memories forever in his mind life has been good and the years have been kind Grateful for the friends he met along the way and thankful for the moments that took his breath away He opens a window just to feel a gentle breeze gazes out to see the world and watch the falling leaves Suddenly the phone rings and he is happy just to know there is someone on the other end that wants to say hello
