Old Memories

  While driving past a farm today,   Old memories began to play   Like sliding pictures in my mind   And looking back I quickly find   The place where I spent childhood days.   The farmhouse rises through a haze   Of years departed and time past,   Until it stands revealed at last,   Just as it was when I was young,   Before the siren song was sung   That lured my family away   And sometimes in my prayers I pray,   That I will see it just once more.   Though it won't be just as before,   I hope the meadows, green and fair,   Still nurture horse and cattle there.   That someone plows and plants the fields   And watches while each acre yields   The bounty of a fruitful stead,   Where men and beast are richly fed.
