Painting Yesterday





This is one of my paintings done from visits down old country side roads and memories from my childhood.  NO!  I am not that old, but there were lots of places still unexplored with roads unpaved in the countryside of my youth.







Painting Yesterday





Work week ends and I go home, to rest and let stress drain.

So pushed at times, exhaustion weighs, I hardly know my name.

I shed work dress, don the old, to easel I then stray,

To find a time of quality, I'm painting yesterday.



Childhood trips to backroad homes I still can see in mind.

I paint the world of peace and love, a truly quiet time.

When people then would welcome friends, those who happened by.

A man was judged not by his gain, but who he was inside.



Those humble homes, my visions sure, I use to ease the stress,

As there go I to breathe a sigh and garner needed rest.

Too bad those times of quietude are gone and could not stay.

I bring them back to fill that lack.  I'm painting yesterday.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away...

(Those were the good old days.)

Oh, I believe in yesterday!
