I sing the song of yesterday When all was truth and light A time when love was really love And every dream was bright I sing the song of yesterday When youth was virile, strong A time of joy and happiness When nothing could go wrong I sing the song of yesterday When passion burned with fire A time when making love was rife With hunger and desire I sing a song of yesterday When beauty reigned supreme A time when luscious lips would laugh And blazon every dream I sing a song of yesterday When my love was true to me A time of sweet contentedness I wish THAT time would be Jade Celeste

Hello, Dear Eve. I made sure I visited you when you were POTD, and then I did say that I was Eileen, so you could find me. :) How are you, dear? Thanks for the visit and love. Have a wonderful Easter.

A song of yesterday when all the notes were new; a song of yesterday when our tune was ne'er blue; a song of yesterday when love was always true; a song of yesterday that once I sang for you! My gentle sweet friend, would that life were so kind. love your friend Shane xxx

I felt happy and lighter reading this one and then I felt a tinge of sadness as I thought about some of the sad yesterdays. Then I thought about my life today and felt thankful. This is a lovely and airy write Eileen.
