Joy of sharing ordinary moments-days in our life. What was the world like when it was new?

This is not a sad post by any means. We have learned over the course of time to appreciate every single moment regardless of circumstances.

 

There are some days when the beauty of this world makes us think: What was the world like when it was brand new? What was the first thing I saw when I realized I was alive? Today was a fairly good day; we headed to the lake for my wife to get some rest ... she was able to walk along the lakeside; we paused to think how many times we've taken a similar walk in many places.

Yesterday, when I was young

The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned

I always built to last on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day

And only now I see how the years ran away

 

Yesterday, when I was young

So many happy songs were waiting to be sung

So many wild pleasures lay in store for me

And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

I never stopped to think what life was all about

And every conversation I can now recall

Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

 

Yesterday the moon was blue

And every crazy day brought something new to do

I used my magic age as if it were a wand

And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

And only I am left on stage to end the play

 

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

The time has come for me to pay for

Yesterday, when I was young
