An Afternoon Walk

Did you ever stop and wonder
Years back when just a lad
The friends that you remember
Some were good, and some were bad

I took a walk one afternoon
Among the many stones
To that hill side cemetery
Not far from my old home

I saw the names of those I knew
When I was just a "pup"
It gave me a real nice feeling
That I knew them, while growing up

Each name brought back a memory
And a happy thought or two
I wish I could find the words
To explain this all to you

It felt like a grand reunion
As I walked along the rows
And those names that came alive again
Which had been resting in my soul

I wonder if they see me
And know I’m filled with joy
With these happy memories, of them
When I was just a boy
