I dreamed of yesterday and all about my boyhood days, <br />When we were young again, and we were pals, but I couldn't stay. <br />I dreamed we played and ran thru time, <br />I dreamed all this, if only in my mind. <br />Warm days of summer blew softly in our face, <br />And all at once we were back, in that special place. <br />Back in time we had beaten that old clock that carries us on, <br />Everything looked just the same, as it did before we were grown. <br />Oh how wonderful it is, to recall back the past, <br />But all too soon, we awake, for it doesn't last. <br />Like the flow of the river, going down to the sea, <br />Life doesn't stop for anyone, not even you and me. <br />Yes, we were friends once upon a time a long time ago, <br />So come along with me and we will run and play, <br />When once again I dream my dreams of you and me and of yesterday.<br /><br />Doug Beggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterday-s-dreams-2/
