Memory LaneWhen I woke up this morning and got out of bedYou were on my mind, I could not get you out of my head I remembered the great times we had together The way you made me laugh and the funny faces you pulled These are some of the things I misee when you played the fool I worry about you. Did you know? I wonder how you are really doing Do you find the time goes by real slow? Do you wander around the apartment, or sit in the room Picturing me and remembering what I use to do? I find myself thinking about you in your chair Smoking your cigar and the way you brushed your fingers through your hair How you sate on the floor sitting cross legged Cracking your fingers and your knees would make me bandy legged Watching TV for hours of wrestling and hired movies I don't know whether to look forward to coming over next year Maybe just let the time to come just happen I do not think I could handle another cancellation So in the meantime I will walk down memory lane And remember the good times and the reasons I came Amanda Martin-Shaver © November 2000 Home Poetry © Amanda Martin-Shaver. |
