The dusty lanes of yesterday <br /> ....Have been repaved with Concrete <br />...Nothing Iffy about my steps.... <br /> ....In this day of loves bittersweet! <br /> <br />Back in the day of Rose coloured glasses <br /> ...Back in the day of the yellow <br /> ...Brick Road... <br />Back in the day when i could do no wrong, ha! <br /> ...Has been replaced by a heavier <br /> ...Load... <br /> <br />I carry it with me upon my shoulders <br /> ...Broad and strong and tough <br /> ...Skinned... <br />Remembering all of my yesterdays <br /> ...Recalling the situations i was in <br /> <br />Those dusty days and lanes are gone now <br /> ...Reality has bore her oft' ugly <br /> ...Head... <br />And so i take softer and slower steps <br /> ...Remembering all the wrongs <br /> ...That i said... <br />For back in the days of yore <br /> ...Back in the days of <br /> ...Before... <br />I was my very own worst enemy <br /> ...Always act before i would <br /> ...See... <br />And end up emotionally, and totally information poor<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterday-and-today-what-about-tomorrow/
