How wistfully I recall times since past When sun shone so brightly upon my face Oh how gaily we ran! so free and fast Weaving memories, intricate as lace
We skipped through the waves splashing all about Swimming with dolphins and all of their kin We played all day long without care or doubt Never once believing it’d ever end
Now shadows close in, the world grows cold Friendships which flourished now slowly shall die No longer lighting my life with their gold Leaving my spirit in ruins to lie
‘Till my final breath I shall always wish That I’d stayed in that place, bathing in bliss
