Notes About The Poem

Little Girl of Yesterday

Little Girl Of Yesterday

She rises every now and then
though her heart is filled with sorrow.
With memories of way back when
and tears saved for tomorrow.

She thinks about the used to bes,
and dreams that don't come true.
Times she prayed down on her knees
and things life put her through.

The broken hearts and brand new starts
the friends that came and went.
People that all played their parts
precious moments that she spent.

She's looking in the mirror 
at the lines etched in her face.
Time grows ever nearer
she's relying on Gods grace.

To see her through the things undone
and life that's left to live.
To teach her when to walk or run
and help her to forgive.

That little girl of yesterday
things aren't like things before.
The little girl has gone away
she doesn't live here anymore.

Still she rises every now and then
though her heart is filled with sorrow.
With memories of way back when
and tears saved for tomorrow.

Jeannie Cronin January 21, 2016 at 3:22 PM Nice Ed, love to know your source of inspiration for this write, unless, of course, it's personal. Edwin Hofert January 22, 2016 at 10:35 AM My inspiration for this is the women in my life. The struggles I see and the strength and wisdom that is born of the trials they face. :) My mother, my daughter and all my wonderful friends.
