Take me back to Yesterday... (poem)
Take me back to yesterday
when dreams were born of a fanciful heart
when impossible held no demanding voice
and imagination bore no scars
when day danced a merry tune
and night glittered with reachable stars;
Please, take me back to yesterday
to where hope and innocence are…
Take me back to yesterday
where my soul knows it belongs
to a time when we danced and sang
to some old-fashioned song
where we laughed and played and dreamed of
all that was yet to come;
Please, take me back to yesterday
when our faith was young and strong…
I sit and stare out over my thoughts
as the tide of life sways to and fro
as memories old and fading
set sail to places born of long ago
and I wonder with an aching heart
where did our yesterdays go
but then, again, I am oh so grateful
for the times that we have known…
I guess I will rise from this moment
and enter tomorrow if it is there
and if I do I will take with me
the love we will always share
and though I may not feel your hand
and this grief is a little more than I can presently bear
I will hold on to every yesterday
until heaven takes me there…

Reading this… it simply resonated within me, and the vibration I felt was one of connection- with how you felt when you wrote this and how I also feel in this moment. It is sad to realize there is an innocence lost… and to see and sense the hopelessness this generation coming up now faces is more than I can bear. In our not to distant past… parents hoped for their kids to do better than they did, these days there is much to worry over… if it is actually possible or not. These are the thoughts this took me to. Incredible write Donna. xo
:( You got me straight through the heart… I offer God my tears as a plea, as a prayer, to help this generation coming up… Too sad… Too, too sad… xxxx
