Yesterday
I remember with fondness the days of yore
When I thought I knew what life was for
As the years pass I get older
With each moment life gets colder
I remember the night I learned of death
It scorched my heart and took my breath
Far too young to leave this earth
Only two years from his birth
I remember life without so much pain
Now I have feelings I can’t explain
I feel like life is passing me by
Some days it feels like I’m waiting to die
I remember riding in the truck with dad
Days gone forever, feeling sad
I rode along with my brothers and friends
Times I never wanted to end
I remember the days my children were born
My love for them can never be torn
Unconditional love I now understand
Two perfect grains from uncountable sands
I remember the day I first met my wife
Since that day she’s my life
She is the mate of my soul
Without her life’s not whole
