What memories do you recall?
Some Latin tag, etched on a wall?
Love letter penned by youthful hand?
Lyrics sung by Sixties’ band?
A catch phrase overused at school?
A reprimand unjust and cruel?
Somehow, and we don’t know why
Memories bring back times gone by.
Heard out of context, they still spark
Deep feelings hidden in our heart
Perhaps a dear friend passed away
Yet we can hear her words today.
We try to keep on even keel
But cannot control how we feel
Such memories can hit us hard
Perhaps that’s why I am a Bard!
