                                                       SPLINTERS OF REMEMBRANCE
                                                       ( page 72  we promise one another.)
              Someone's  hair  in the wind flutters a thousand miles --
                      No doubt it will rain this afternoon.            
                      One hundred drops of rain, one thousand drop of memory;
                      I have been sad ever since I left you.

                      Do these sad eyes of long age seem strange?
                      Do they look as at an unfamilar face ?
                      Returning home after years of aimless drifting,
                      Is there a bit of your love left for me?

                      Every drop of mist in your eyes ,
                      Every stand ofhair cool nad dark as the river,
                      Though the  years have stolen your beauty ,
                      Still your sad eyes of long ago remain.

                      I have wandered from horizon to horizon ,
                      But still after many years feel my soul not yet old.
                      Is there any of the old love
                      You still keep in your heart, or has it gone away ?

                      The hibiscus covered fence which unwillingly  bid farewell
                      I 've not forgotten in so many days of roaming,
                      Someone 's hair flutters a thousand miles ...
                      No doubt it will rain this afternoon .
