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.
