Melancholy

watching the young father

holding the soft, innocent hands thru

the start of life

stirring the pave

you and I once thread

memories in shred

invoking, a longing of a faraway

of gays and days

of tears and years

gone by

when we are lost in slumber

only to awaken 

reminiscing, the sweet ole melody

you and I 

once whispered

into our young hearts
