years down the road

School children
Villages towns and cities
Smiling friendship bloom
Walking to class rooms
The world is their own

Years down the road
Each separate ways
Maybe reunions
To see how each behave

Migration seeking fortune
Work related marriages
Leaving the stage
Erecting new ones in place

Years down the road
Children, divorces and separated
Friends of long ago
Faces disappear names can't recall

As the clock ticking away
Memories fade the windy wind take away
Leaving only the straws
Withered weak ready to fall

Maybe reunions
To see how each behave
As the ticking closes in
Fading memories
All one could get
As the dust settles

Leaving the footprints
Love lost love gain love in virtuality
Things and dreams said and done
Amongst other things echo of times gone
