It was a Tuesday afternoon
Towards the end of May
When my mind began to play
Memories from yesterday
''Twas in these memories I was younger
And my soul was lighter, my smile was brighter
My loved ones nearer,
My friends were closer,
No cares were in my fresher mind
No worries hung about my shoulders
And when my mind began to play
That nostalgic, but melancholy tune
I found myself wondering
What became of her?
That child, so free and young
Who was not afraid to speak the truth
Who's dreams were bold and endless?
Did she vanish beneath the disapproving words
And accusing looks with no answers to her questions?
No.
A part of me whispers
No, you are not gone
That freedom I still seek for is still there
And so are the dreams,
But along the way I've forgotten
What it means to be myself,
What it means to live
And what it means to love
And just like that my mind is no more playing
Words from yesterday
Instead it begins to merrily sing
A song of today, the present, the future
One Tuesday afternoon in May.
A.C.
