Yesterday and Today

if I could I'd take a step back speak softly sing more songs gently speak truths from my heart enjoy the small things time races the past is clouded I hold close memories tomorrow comes quickly now carnival dreaming For the Shardoma contest Barbara Gorelick 8/14/11

So many of the entries are just fun and frolic, Barbara, but I get a sense of loss and nostalgia from yours. Great use of emotion. This is so beautifully written. Winning wishes for you. Soup mail. Love, Carolyn
