Yesterday

 

Hold back the years

hold back time

how many new wrinkles

can i find .



Oh how i long for yesterday

i can remember running barefoot

down a dirt road just after a rain

stepping in the puddles.



I can remember the warm water

on my feet,flying kites,riding

a bus for the first time.



Going to a saturday matinee

watching two or three movies

staying all day.



A golden glove boxer, a basketball star,

Oh but those days seem so far.,



But i long to be there again

just once more before the end.

oh how i long for yesterday...

as we age, yesterdays have a strong pull, remembering the things we did or didn't do... Ron, you point to many of those things that made us happy and long to be able to do again.... and after reading your poem I went out to the parking lot and jumped in the puddle I found there before coming back o write a review.... it was as much fun as I remembered!!! thanks for reminding me.... really nice poem Ron....

Wonderful imagery in your lines Ron and I love your posted image of the road to the past. Flying kites and jumping in puddles, two of my delights too as a child. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

You left a comment that my writing wasn't good, but it looks as though yours needs quite a bit of work itself. Especially punctuation. Have a great day 😀

[wordman]

no mam i did not,and yes i need a lot of training

A lot of nice imagery in this one. The past is a nice place to visit on occasion. Just don't let the visits extend too long. There is really only now.
