They Say You Can Never Go Back

What is the use of going home

Mom is gone and so is Dad

 

Places of my youth are gone forever

Hardly a friend left... when I was a lad

 

Gone is the field where the bases I ran

There now sits a hospital with a hela pad

 

No longer the grape arbor where I stole my fist kiss

From a freckle face beauty who pretended to be mad

 

There is Phils house he died in Viet Nam

On the porch sits his mother... still crying... so sad

 

The great brick school... whos halls I ran

Teaching todays youth as it always had

 

They say you can never go back

I make the trip often and am always glad

Me too Ron. Ir's good for the soul to revisit one's past. It's your credibility abd it's where your emotions and passion started growing. It's always good to revisit the past. It's why we are who we are!
