As one reflects on former days
When life seemed grand with love ablaze
To ponder all the many schemes
That filled our lives and were our dreams.
How sad that most did fade away,
Forgotten plans of yesterday,
Yet left some here still dreaming on
That long lost isle of Avalon.
While tales were told to bring us hope
And teach us how to learn to cope
Since most of life’s inequities
Are issues that we must appease !
