While looking at old photographs,

My mind soon lost its way,

Along a foggy, winding path,

That led to yesterday,

Now times and thoughts, long miles ago,

Have overtaken me,

Till memories, what used to be,

Are all that I now see,

In motion slow, much off the pace,

I watch life passing by,

My days then filled with life and love,

Warm days, bright sun, blue sky,

I spent time, unaccounted for,

Enjoying yesterday,

Traveling through each memory,

So long and far away,

I am not sure, what brought me back,

I wish, I’d longer stayed,

Still I am ever, thankful for,

My yesterdays, replayed,

Tomorrow if I’m looking for,

Events to fill a slot,

Perhaps I’ll look at photographs,

And times my mind’s forgot.
