Yesterday's Child

All too seldom yesterday comes

Knocking on the door,

Beckoning reminders of

The way it used to be.

Playful little tidbits meant

To tease the aging process,

Far too distant to return

Except in memory.

Whimsically, they're set in place,

Mind games of deception,

Artful in the conquest of our time.

Tipped with vinegar and honey,

Complete with background music,

A sweet and sour poem set to rhyme.

In the hustle and the bustle

Of our hectic lives,

When problems of the world

Are heaped and piled,

Meditations of the past will

Ease the pain of tension,

As we search for

Yesterday's sweet child.
