What Happened To Yesterday?

Accidental Poet



 

It was many years ago

I thought I knew

And now I know the truth

I really had no clue

 

I’m no longer who I was

A new me emerged from within

Guess you could say

It was time to shed my skin

 

Gone are the days

When life was a simple game

So naïve was I to think

I’d steer my own life’s train

 

For I knew not

My fate already written

The proof in these very words

From the writing bug I’d been bitten

 

To a dozen different paths

I might have taken

But I wound up here

And the rest I’d forsaken

 

My rear view mirror

Never far away

Where I walk those unchosen paths

And wonder, what happened to yesterday?

      This will relate to so many readers A.P. - a wonderful reminder and the number chosen is sung with such meaning too. A really great read that goes into my faves.

        Thank you so much Fay. I think we all have similar feelings and are compelled to look back and assess how far we\'ve come from our earlier, younger being.
