Did you think that yesterdays, <br />Were coming back to be relived? <br />Without witnessing everyday... <br />Dismissing what each day brings and gives. <br /> <br />Did you believe that sitting, <br />Wishing for a time gone and passed... <br />Would actually make a difference, <br />If you held on... <br />Wanting those moments to always last. <br /> <br />As the sands of time, <br />Quickly slipped... <br />Through an hour glass! <br /> <br />Did you think that yesterdays, <br />Were yours alone to keep? <br />As you tossed and turn with hopes... <br />Losing more than just your sleep! <br /> <br />Did you wish for a season, <br />That came... <br />Never to go away? <br /> <br />Wake up, baby... <br />From your spell! <br />Catching up with reality... <br />Is a choice you should choose. <br />Than to dwell in your own created hell, <br />To lose your mind today. <br /> <br />You will not be receiving any interest, <br />From that kind of deposit! <br />These times are not on hold, <br />For that kind of mind!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
