He May Never Again

He may never again see the town far away
Where he once was well known but may not be today
When he visualizes he fancy he hear
The song of the chaffinch in the Spring of the year
The past may be gone but the memories with him stay
Of when the hawthorns are in their white blooms of the May
Long before his dark brown hair turned to gray
With his young friends in the town park football he did play
His best ever friend and the love of his life
Five years ago to cancer he lost his wife
Ten times a grandfather at seventy three
He only has memories of what used to be
Of a past that is in the Seasons long gone
And he is growing older and life does go on.
