A Journey in Memory I walked today in memory And drifted back through the years, I saw the laughing eyes of the young man And I felt the sting of tears. I saw the sunset on the water As we strolled on the summer sands. I felt him very close to me As he reached for and took my hands. I remember his kiss in the sunlight For all the world to see My heart still leaps when it recalls the words When he said that he loved me. I travelled on and the days moved fast And I soon saw the years rolled by, Children and meals and family And I saw the days when I would cry. Oh how sweet it would be for me If could have my dearest wish And travel back to the summer place Where we still laugh and wish. © Linda J. Vaughan The Pages of Avalon
