Just Memories

Just memories
Looking at some pictures, I wish I was still there
A lovely fresh complexion and a head of curly hair

The clothes that I am wearing were all in fashion then
That special age you go through, when boys turn into men

Days and nights were brilliant, hanging out with mates
Sending scented letters, to a girl you want to date

Just look at me I'm posing, in front of my dads car
As family we drove everywhere, but never went too far

My aunty in the background, that lady on the right
Her hair done in a beehive, to dance on Saturday night

My sister with her tongue out, hand resting on her hip
Married and with children now, this photo makes her flip

My mum and dad were super, they made me what I am
Showed me right from wrong and do, the very best I can

Just looking at these photos, of days when things were hard
I see the aluminium bath, hung up in our back yard

I can’t believe I'm seeing, how times have clearly changed
How every aspect of our lives, is totally re-arranged

I'll put these photos back now dad, it's nearly time for tea
I'm grateful for the memories, that life has given me
