DO YOU EVER REMINISCE? Hugh Brady Route #1 Box 82 Downey, Idaho 8323^ Senior Citizen Division Second Place Poetry As I sit in the dusk of eventide, My mind in reflective mood, I live again the joys of youth And the days of my childhood. Do you, dear friends, ever reminisce, And let your thoughts retreat To the paths of youth and yesteryear, You tripped with nibble feet? And as you sit in your easy chair With feet cocked up just sc, Do you recall how you used to dance Some sixty years ago? As you hsar the North wind whistling, And you know it's cold outside, In your memory can you hear the sleighbells, And the laughter of those who ride? Do you remember the old dance hall, And the Drug Store across the street, The gang on the corner singing. My Adeline so sweet? With it's rocks and ruts and sand. The high Spring seat of that old wagon As you rode to the Shepherd's Land? Now wouldn't you like to be young again, And meet your dear oXd firiends, To live again, the joys of youth, And believe that fun never ends? Now you who are old and gray like me, Who live so far away: Don't dear old Sanpete memories, Call you all back home to stay? Source! Personal recollections. -61- |
