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.
