Take Me Back To Yesterday
It was just a shadow turned,
some distant memory of which we yearned
and who we were, just children raised and grown
moving to a future unknown;
like everyone who has hopes and dreams
wondering if life could be like movie scenes,
actors on a living stage
bending with the flow of the world's parade;
those years and lessons lived and learned
now seem lost to the changing downturn;
but hope and dreams are ever-present
riding on history's lessons
and for a moment in the windy dark embellished shadows
yesterdays rise from the charred fields and meadows
and all the hopes for tomorrows and todays
always take me back to yesterday.
