SO LONG KIDS

An old Man climbed a rock strewn path

His step uncertain and slow

To visit the school he had attended

More than three score years ago.

The old stone house was vacant

Was lonely, sad and still

As in memory he recalled the children

He had played with on this hill

For moments he beheld this memory

He could hear their shouts of glee

But tears soon dimmed the picture

Til' he could no longer see

The Scenes continued fading

And the old man again was alone

He wiped his eyes and turned to go

For another dream had flown.

Note--The old school building is falling down now.  But the Memories of That old School will always be clear in my Memories of yesterday...Charles E. Myers.....
