CHILDREN WERE WE


 Echoes In time, treasured sounds dreamed In my mind,


 From a lifetime ago In a place from the past, a town.


 Walking In the streets, a simple time remembered,


 Shadows, ghosts of friends' thought of once In a while.


 Warm Summer's with not a care In the world for us,


 Young were we as If today might be yesterday.


 With the wind, the years are swept away Into today,


 The voice of a woman, a girl brought from a distant day.


 Children were we just a moment ago, only a moment ago,


 From a man to a woman again I might know, Images of 
 Children,

 Thoughts of a place sometimes traveled In my mind alone.


             For you,

           Keith Garrett
