Memories Among the Ruins

" Memories Among the Ruins "



                                                  Yesterday I visited home

                                               and was greeted only by memories

                                                 Gone were the familar houses 

                                               left were crumbled ruins beyond the trees

                                              

                                                  No longer did children play

                                                bringing laughtor to this place

                                                    our swing lay broken on the ground

                                                now rotton lumber gone to waste



                                                     Each of us grew up here

                                               leaving a part of us behind

                                                     Sadly I stood there wishing

                                               for a child I can never again find



                                                       I saw many things amid the ruins

                                                though all had been gone many years

                                                       There were no more ballgames

                                                 or happy childish  cheers



                                                        Animals that were once our friends

                                                  are burried beneath an old oak

                                                         Once speacial toys have long been gone

                                                   just as Kenneths darn billy goat



                                                          Strangley I could hear faint calls

                                                   of Moma calling us to eat

                                                           But I knew it was only

                                                    my imagination caused by the heat



                                                            I can not restore yesterday

                                                      nor the child I once was    

                                                            I can only drift back occasionally    

                                                       as I am sure most of us does

Heart Ghosts

No doors swing open
from some unknown wind.
No steps are heard
that no mortal does send
\Yet, ghosts are here
within my hearts' memory
Thoughts are for awhile controlled
by ghosts who are friends to me
\Often I feel this presence
flashing yesterdays befeore my eyes
There is no loud thunder
nor lightening to streak the skys
\I'm shown childish laughter
and an older childs' tears
As my heart ghosts gently
remind me of those by-gone years
\They tell me if I must cry
then do so silently
For though sad they are gone
be glad they once walked with me
