A PAGE FROM YESTERDAY


 Memories, a window to our past, pictures of 
 Special times,
 Friends' we once knew, where are they now, 
 Somewhere.

 There are those no longer among us, their 
 Story is written,
 A book closed, put away on a shelf but forever 
 Cherished.
 We thought as children that life was magic 
 And wishes,
 Teenagers having fun trying to figure out 
 Where we were going.

 We were fortunate to have been given such 
 Friends back in time,
 Lucky If we are still blessed with their presence 
 Today.

 We take a page from yesterday, off comes that 
 Book from its place,
 Remember that friend In our heart that never  
 Disappears, that face.

 A voice that was once heard, a smile, now an echo, 
 Forever a thought,
 Well! today some of those faces, those voices, 
 And a smile remembered
 Are here to share a night, a memory and a page 
 Again written, a book.
