Yesterdays and yesteryears <br />are just memories now <br />But I would give almost anything <br />to relive them somehow <br />There were no money worries <br />that our parents shared <br />We may have been poor <br />but no one really cared <br />As long as we were healthy <br />to see each day through <br />wake every morning <br />to see the sunlight on the dew <br /> <br />It seems a millions years <br />have come and gone <br />since those carefree days <br />of the long, long ago <br />when summers seem to stretch <br />the whole year round <br />winter never came <br />in those long ago years <br />we were so carefree <br />with no trouble or pain <br />Oh how I wish now <br />we were those children again <br /> <br /> <br />7 March 1996<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterdays-and-yesteryears/
