It only takes a word or two,
to jog our memory back;
To thoughts and things of yesterday,
Those "pieces of the past".
When we were small and the world seemed large,
We listened and we learned;
To things our parents had to say,
With great love and much concern.
To bring back only one more day,
We'd give so very much;
To hear those little worthwhile things,
Or feel that special touch.
So to our children we pass the things,
That are instilled in us to last;
And go with us forever more,
Those "pieces of the past".
