    Yonder Years

    Oh let me dream of yonder years
    to a time of my youth
    when I was good and bad
    my spirits were aloof
    Now in the autumn of my years
    And the winter of life is nigh
    Let me dream of the spring of my life
    That which now make me sigh
    Let me dream of my first kiss
    Stolen on a warm summer night
    From a someone I barely knew
    Under the starlit sky.
    So much have I forgotten
    About those carefree days
    How wonderful life was then
    in so many different ways
    I remember the time
    I first fell in first in love
    And how the stars in my eyes
    Matched the ones above.
    I knew all along
    that this time in life would come
    what I didn't know
    It would come so soon
    Let me dream once more

    With a youth like gleam

    O let me visit that time
    Even if only in my dream

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
