Time come back <br />Where have you gone <br />Such short of time <br />In a span so long <br /> <br />I remember vividly <br />Like it was yesterday <br />When I was a little girl <br />Outside at play <br /> <br />My brother and I <br />Would get up before dawn <br />Without waking mom <br />Put our play clothes on <br /> <br />We would make sure <br />We would put dirty ones on <br />From the day before <br />Trying to please mom <br /> <br />We would be at play <br />When mom would wake <br />Making mud pies <br />Taking time to bake <br /> <br />We would ride our bikes <br />It seems all day <br />Not a care in the world <br />As we would play <br /> <br />In the fields of hay <br />We would run up <br />Rolling to the bottom <br />In the evening sun <br /> <br />The train sounds echo <br />I do recall <br />I hear in the distance <br />That roaring song <br /> <br />Night would come <br />Oh, so quick <br />Where did the day go <br />As time would tick <br /> <br />Before we ended the day <br />The lightening bugs would light <br />As we ran with our jars <br />In the dark of night <br /> <br />Mom would call <br />Kids it's time to come in <br />You got to get your baths <br />Don't make me yell again <br /> <br />Thirty years ago <br />Seems like yesterday <br />Memories I cherish <br />My brother and I at play<br /><br />Lagaya Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seems-like-yesterday/
