remember just a while ago, <br />remember not too long ago <br />we were but children at school <br />as little Jane with braided hair <br />and clumsy Lee with pimples to spare <br />Ah, how time grays our heads, <br />sweethearts, <br />and life blesses our hearts, <br />blesses our hearts <br />O remember sweethearts, <br />it wasn’t too long ago <br />we were but teenage girls exchanging gossip <br />and many ambitious boys exchanging blows; <br />O remember it was just a while ago <br />as it seems, just some days ago <br />and now our children bear children and <br />our grandchildren are at play in the fields <br />Ah, how time grays our heads, <br />sweethearts, <br />and life blesses our hearts, <br />blesses our hearts<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-but-just-a-while-ago/
