Memory hurts – our hearts are stung
But sometimes I think the pain is for
Not a particular place but more
A special time – when we were young
For freer days when we knew hope
And what we felt we had was – scope.
Eat me if you’re hungry
Burn me if you’re cold
Sleep on me if you’re tired...
Our white-walled houses facing west
Catch the sunset’s final glow
Dusk forms in branches as I mow...
