"A Place of Wonder"

There is a time in memory

Where things all stay the same

Where trees and flowers line the streets

And love and joy remain

Yet time will pass and leave behind

The wonders of that day

And we progress and move ahead

Yet memories will stay

The years will pass and we will change

And life will come and go

Yet always in our memories

That place of wonder grows

And with each day that passes

Perhaps we'll think upon

The days of yesterday now past

And for it thus to long

But there is a form or pattern

That through the years I've found

The woes and pain have disappeared

Where memories abound

Yet we will continue dreaming

Of days of yester year

Where many are the treasures

And seldom there were tears

Yet as the time progresses

And all our years will climb

The memories still present

Are never left behind

So we'll day to day continue

To live within each day

But always there'll be memories

To help along the way
