Yesterday
From shoe babies, to
suitcase accordions
From preaching church, to nursing wounded
We had the best time no matter.
Yesterday we were best friends
Carefree and happy children for the most part
Our special picnics under the
willow tree,
Or jumping from the loft into the
wagon filled with hay
We had fun on even the drabbest
days.
We had each other, come what may!
Yesterday
we were "The Three Musketeers"
Full
of energy and spirit, not a care in the world
Mud
pies and snowball fights
Swimming
in the strip pit, swinging off the tire
We
lived it up and loved it.
Yesterday
we became teenagers
Lovers
and concerts
Crusin'
"The bash", and endless parties
Broken
hearts and new loves
We
had it all
Yesterday
we grew up
We
fell in love and had children
Family
cook outs, baseball games
Bruised
knees and dirty faces
Broken
hearts and hurt feelings
Today
we live so far apart
Can
we meet, have a picnic under the willow tree
Share
our lives today
Tomorrow
may be to late
So
lets get together and catch up
Miss
you much
Aunt
Mary E.S.
This
poem is written to my niece and nephew
Christina
and Mike
I
Love you both dearly
I Miss US Three :)
