I gazed at the horizon As I sat all alone Then I recalled those occasions Among loved ones now long gone. I remember those teen years Of joy and confusion. Where love and attention Seem primordial to hold one's emotion. Times have changed and life went on I grew up and got a good education
To move up was my burning ambition, To achieve success and recognition. In my career I'm truly blest As wife and mother I did my best With a husband's love as my support I've got the things that I've sought I'm now retired and what have I got? Memories of friends long gone Memories of things I've done, To make life better for everyone.
