Reflections of Yesterday by BSC

 

As the sun is slowly setting

And the evening shadows grow

I think back on days gone by

To a place I'd like to go.

 

Back to a place in my childhood

When days were so carefree

Back to the days when my Mama's lap

Was my favorite place to be.

 

Those days of slides and swing sets

Of playing out in the yard

Those days when we were growing up

And nothing seemed too hard.

 

All too soon we turn around

And find ourselves all grown

With adult responsibilities

And children of our own.

 

The memories of yesterday

Come quickly to mind

When as an adult I'm searching

For answers I cannot find.

 

We struggle through our losses

Gain strength from each hurdle crossed

And learn that we are not truly alone

Especially when we feel most lost.

 

Now the shadows have faded to darkness

The days warmth is now growing cold

I look up to the stars in heaven

And wonder what tomorrow will hold.

 

The stars are shining down brightly

Almost as if to say

Sleep well my dear and don't be afraid

For tomorrow's a brand new day..
