Yesterdays Expectations
Lead me to renewed thoughts of you
to relive happy times that quickly lead to anguished feelings
diminishing the joys I look for in today’s sun
but you quickly fade in and out and then in again
I try to remember your face but your image decays
A great love that was once yours and mine, the vows promised…
have faded into yellowed news print in some bygone obituary
never fully filling the empty space of love we felt was our future
yesterday was yesterday, today is a new day
And hope is the ever present ingredient in life as it moves on.
