"JUST AN ECHO"


 If you listen carefully your memories can 
 Be heard,

 Words' and phrases spoken or listened too 
 Are recorded.

 Thoughts' In your head feel at times louder, 
 Just an echo,

 Sounds' and scenes from a lifetime played over, 
 Can you hear.

 Noises from children playing back when just a 
 Child, Just a child,

 Friends' from long ago, just an echo In time,  
 Listen, they can be heard.

 In the span of a lifetime like the wind moving by, 
 created in an instance,

 An echo In time we will be, just an echo In time 
 For you and me.
