Lost Yesterdays

Accidental Poet

 

Lost yesterdays

Always calling us back

Like the pull of an old photograph

From a vintage film Kodak

 

Re-discover

What once was new

Save it forever

Deep in the heart of you

 

And someday you’ll look back

As you stroll down memory lane

Cherish the smiles from

Lost yesterday’s you’ll find again

 

Times with your mom and dad

Trips to the ice cream shop

Fascination in the toy store

And watching popcorn pop

 

Rides at the amusement park

And Cotton Candy at the carnival

All the oohs and aahs

From fireworks marvels

 

How excited you got

With your first new bike

Then on your first date

And it was more than just like

 

A fortune in time

Down Memory Lane you’ll pay

For another chance

To savor those lost yesterdays

          Thanks Christina. Those old photographs you're saving can be saved by various mean, but they are the originals. Can't go take those shots again. Glad you're holding on to them. ; )
