A Reminiscence


As we grow on in years, the losses grow
Greater and greater as well. We make
Those timely and necessary withdrawals
On the Bank Account Life. Simple things

Pass almost imperceptible with the rapidly
Accumulating days. My head was turned
The other way when a bottle of Coke and
Snickers bars were only a nickel. Pennies

Found lying on the ground were a trea-
sures worth reaching for. I thought Cap-
tain Kangaroo and Roy Rogers would live
On forever. And those were losses which

Never really changed a thing, except when
Reminiscing about the Good Ole Days. I
Can’t run for distance anymore, and my
High stepping has turned into a hobble.

We won’t talk about friends and relations
Who left us alone and out in the cold too
Soon. The tears haven’t changed much,
Though. I can still cry those Great Salt
Lakes aplenty.
