WHY DWELL ON THE PAST

It’s not coming back, only in your thoughts can it live,

To a place we can always journey, stand where we were.

Why dwell on the past? it is here we all started, where we were.

Our place of memories, for most the great times growing up,

Special friends we all took for granted, we just didn’t know it then.

It seems like just moments ago we were walking to school, laughing,

Our troubles were few, the ones we had appeared so huge,

The past, if we could only for a magical moment take a walk back.
