yesterday

Surrounding me the color hues

Of reds and yellows and background blues

Reminding me that sometime soon

The days the years they vanish too

One by one the leaves fall down

Like broken dreams forgotten now

While busy people trample by

Rushing on with empty frowns

Along the way beneath the clouds

With head held high a lonely swan

In stately splendor floats on by

Unaware of furrowed brows

Oh days of yonder days gone by

When all that filled my idle times

Were hopes and dreams yet still to come

Now fading ‘neath the growing piles
