In
Memory
Only
I
sauntered
down
a
country
lane
of
tender
dreams
of
ages
past,
and
tried
to
resurrect
again
the
hope
that
always
seemed
to
last.
But
as
I
searched
in
ashes
cold,
of
hours
spent
when
in
my
youth,
a
picture
clear
did
then
unfold
reminding
me
of
simple
truth:
We
may
return
in
memory
to
blooming
years
of
yesterday,
but
doors
to
youth
have
not
a
key
when
time
has
blown
the
flower
away.
