"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.

                                Keith Garrett
