Yesterday's Poem

Yesterday's Poem
By Franklin Price
03/04/2022

Just in case you have been following
The poems I've written every day
Since January eighteenth
When my Barbara passed away

Yesterday, I did not write one 
Other things got in the way
I joined the Senior Center
Around the middle of the day

While I was being shown around
There, playing bridge, were three.
No one else was in the room
So they asked, new member, me.

I had not played for many years
And I told them that was so
That said we only play for fun
So come on in and have a go

They all were very friendly
And were helpful every play
It felt good to be involved again
Would not do so every day.

Each one became my partner
As we moved between the games
I must admit, it troubles me
That I've forgotten all their names

We won as many, as we lost,
 All my partners and I
They invited me to play again
When we said our first goodbye

Looking forward to next Thursday
When, at noon, I'll play to win
If I don't forget the time
I'll try to learn their names again

This is the poem of yesterday 
Of when I went out to play
I am getting my feet wet again
And I'm writing it today
