Yesterday


 



Hold back the years

hold back time

how many new wrinkles

can i find .



Oh how i long for yesterday

i can remember running barefoot

down a dirt road just after a rain

stepping in the puddles.



I can remember the warm water

on my feet,flying kites,riding

a bus for the first time.



Going to a saturday matinee

watching two or three movies

staying all day.



A golden glove boxer, a basketball star,

Oh but those days seem so far.,



But i long to be there again

just once more before the end.

oh how i long for yesterday...

You captured that bittersweet

You captured that bittersweet tug of the heart when the passage of time becomes too clear and the memories more distant. Emotionally charged and true-to-life. Well done.

As long as we remember

As long as we remember yesterday with respect and accuracy, it will be part of today.
