I'll Be Along

I'm lost in thought, again, I see
Another memory calling me
I gently slip into the past
...I'll be right back, I'll be real fast.

I linger there...perhaps too long
But can't you hear that lovely song?
How can I leave before it's done?
That soothing strain has just begun.

What's that you say...it's time to go?
There's work to do...of course...I know;
You go ahead...I'll be along;
I need to hear just one more song.

Another lovely melody
Another memory calling me.

The Splendid Escapade

She pauses as she passes there
by that faded photograph;
She cannot help but stop and stare
Recalling just how grand it was to laugh.

She slips inside that silent scene
back when all seemed bright and fair
And settles in, her soul serene
Contented - not a thing can harm her there.

And as the past proceeds to fade
for the present screams her name
She leaves her splendid escapade
While glancing back - upon that faded frame.
