Yesterday


I'm coming home to yesterday
I've been away too long...
Forgive me please I beg of you
I'm not where I belong...
 
Somehow I drifted from my dreams
was swept far out to sea...
Lost focus on important things
and what they meant to me...
 
I used to laugh and sing my songs
somewhere the music stopped...
I compromised too many times
it's not how I was taught...
 
Please welcome me with open arms
my old familiar friend...
Repair the damage to my soul
so I can live again

  1. This poem really struck a chord in me Jon. You definitely have a gift for transcribing the complicated language of the heart into simple, lovely verses. I miss you my friend.
