Years gone By

Years Gone By

Where have the years gone,
Where did they go?
Where are my memories of so long ago?
Why can't I find them, I know there somewhere?
Remembering is so difficult,
Why is life so unfair?

I know I have children
I remember their names,
But I wish I could remember their hopes, dreams and aims.
Did they achieve them, I wish that I knew,
Where do they live now, what do they do?

I have family pictures,
But only see faces,
Familiar scenes and different places.
I know that my life was full and vast,
But how I do wish that I could remember my past.
