I REMEMBER
How precious is our memory,
What would we do without it,
Yet year by year and day by day,
Seldom we think about it.
It takes us back to carefree days,
The school, the patient teacher:
Sunday we dressed our very 'best
To go and hear the preacher,
Night after night with games and
songs,
We really had a rare time;
Then up the stair by candle light,
For goodnight and for prayer time.
But soon, too soon came sterner
years,
My school boy days were over;
I said goodbye with tear -dinned eye,
A free and hopeful rover.
The West Coast I remember well,
Remember how it ,beckoned;
We travelled far by C.P.R.
Not first class, mine was second.
A lonely homesiek lad was 1,
No known friend or relation,
But I was twenty-one you see
And soon found occupation.
Fresh in my memory today,
The winding road, the tree -lined
lane,
The pond, the nearby chopping mill,
I'd like to be that boy again.
