[bodytext] => Memories come flooding back to me As I sit looking over the water. I remember an old man sitting here Old in years and life’s experiences His hair as white as snow His face lined with age, with life Lines of happiness, lines of sadness He sits, eyes looking beyond the water What is in his mind? Is he remembering a lost love? Perhaps wars in distant lands, forgotten battles, fallen comrades, or memories of childhood and family? This man, so full of wisdom. He comes back to me. “You know young fella, I’ve been thinking” Is he going to share some of his memories? Or will he pass on some of his wisdom? “Yes?” “I’ve been thinking” “You look as though you could do with some ice-cream” Ah, so wise and so insightful. Many years have past but the memories so clear.
