Lament for a Classmate
I knew you when you were a child,
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried,
Perhaps you were sweet,
While I was wild,
The precious pet of the classroom kind,
An image of a smiling child,
I beheld your face,
Like my soul sighed,
I knew you when you were a child,
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried.
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried,
Perhaps you were sweet,
While I was wild,
The precious pet of the classroom kind,
An image of a smiling child,
I beheld your face,
Like my soul sighed,
I knew you when you were a child,
I don’t recall you,
Although I tried.

Author's Note
'Lament for a Classmate' was penned in 2015 in response to the passing of a classmate whose name had remained with me over the decades, but of whom I had little memory; and it has remained more or less unchanged since.
