Yesterday

Yesterday when the sky was young and All the clouds were cotton candy strung My memories take me back to a place where Troubles skipped over ponds so clear Seemed like just a ripple in time So much more those ripples passing through my mind Far from those ripples now Away from where those youthful winds did blow Now I watch as the clouds sail by It seems my cotton candy clouds away did fly Looks like they've turned to marshmallows now As the winds of time continue to flow Though the hands of time are fixed in place They're apt to flex in reminiscent's grace Here they'll float across the mind like clouds To rest where memories are bestowed, and Stay within the heart , adored Oh how the time does fly away I see its flight in clouds of gray, where I Believe the winds of time do sway. In time all our tomorrows will turn to Yesterday, where all those cotton candy clouds do play

Joseph, very good, but you have to finish it!!! You need to add to "now it looks as ...."if they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday." Well, I think I am right. go see. This is one that I want to do too. But it seems very challenging to get all those words!! Good luck , my friend.
