Notes About The Poem
Written 2nd June 2025
The Beatles Lay it to me Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Charles Messina 

Only Yesterday

Only yesterday all was fine Loving every second of time Suddenly I'm lonesome and blue Knowing that I am losing you I need a helping hand to hold From someone with a heart of gold Please send your love from you to me When you do, act naturally.

A tender and heartfelt poem expressing the sudden ache of loneliness and the deep need for comfort. The simple, sincere language beautifully conveys vulnerability and hope for genuine support. A touching piece that many can relate to.
