YEARS GONE BY

Years Gone By

As I look back at years gone by

Sometimes it saddens my heart

Memories creep in and remind me

Of loved ones that did depart

But even though it saddens me

It also brings joy within

To know that they were part of me

Helps this heart of mine to grin

When I turn back time to my childhood

Scraped knees and elbows I had

Trying to learn to ride my bike

With a little help from my dad

My teenage years, well that was fun

Dating, 45's and record hops

Meeting the gang for soda's

At a place that we called "Pops"

Then one day I became a bride

And married my very first beau

If I knew how my life would turn out

I would have told him "NO"

But I never did regret

Being his wife you see

He blessed me with something precious

Three children he gave to me

And now I am a grandma

With a great grandchild on the way

I'm glad that I can look back

To those memories of yesterday

Those memories will always have a place

Deep inside my heart

But now it's time for the future

Where new memories will now have their start
