Just Yesterday
It seems in memories
we read about the Great Flood
Just Yesterday
We heard stories
Of the killing and the flowing blood
Just yesterday
we suffered and tread
And crossed borders through ‘The Great Divide
Just yesterday
We played ‘touch the tree’
hopscotch marbles seek and hide
Just Yesterday
We drove around in
Chevrolet s Fiats with Jeeps beside
Just yesterday
we spent warm afternoons
lazing and building castles in the sand
Just yesterday
running for the ice lolly
at the tapping of the Cart man's hand
Today I look at
Photographs reflecting memories
Of moments good and bad
Today young or old
Memories happy and sad
In photographs are all we hold.
Just Happiness or sorrow
Who knows tomorrow
So I tear and pile up
Heaps of paper, to be sold.
