PAGE 6 TERRACE BAY NEWS JANUARY 25, 1978 Prelude - i I have noticed that as I advance in years, my past is becoming more and 'more vividly impressed upon my daily thinking. Example, this is my daughter's birth- day, prompting me to remember our happiness on her arrival over fifty years ago, thus again prompting me te put my immediate memories in verse. The tragedies I speak of are mostly the loss of two sons in car accidents. -- -- ---- -- Here, I sit alone dreaming of my past, brooding in my solitude of the days gone by so fast. It must be human nature as we advance in years to remember all the heartaches the joys, as well as tears. And as I turn the pages in my book of life: I cannot but be grateful for such a loving wife. Those pages are so dusty and time has past so soon I'd forgot our happiness \ ~ when our daughter came in June. Our cup of joy was so complete as the boys came one by one we surely could not then forsee the tragedies to come. My memories are so vivid as I sit here and recall - the passing of my loved ones with the pain and anguish of it all. Those yesterdays have passed me by together with the sorrows, I think the time has come, at last, to contemplate to-morrows. Those to-morrows could be wonderful with the understanding and the love we receive from all our kin folk and the blessings from above. I know I'll keep on dreaming, its the privilege of the old to sit and re-hash memories, until the last story has been told. Itve lived a thousand years of progress, in my short stay on earth and yet, I have to wonder just what it will be worth. So.as my life span shortens with the passing of the days 3 thank God for all the happiness % I have found in simple ways. : -W. E.
