I've many a memory

A story to tell,

But maybe my favorite

Is the crystal clear bell.

Mid confusion and strife,

It rang loud and clear

Playing its note

For people to hear.

But through all the music,

Its sound never failed.

And to the bright sound

The people all hailed.

But placed with another!

One plus two or three!

It made a whole choir

With tunes so pretty.

The bells were amazing!

So bright, clear and strong.

But sadly, alas,

It didn't last long.

The year came and went,

The sound didn't last.

It's funny how something

You love goes by fast.
