Yesterday's Valley I've been touched with a sweet everlasting feeling I've been followed each step by yesterday's face Now, I find myself walking roads from long ago By the grace of God I've landed in an awesome place... He's lifted me just high enough to really see With just a glance I find her here in my mind Her smile is the picture I'm fortunate enough to find And, I hold onto each memory here one at a time... So, I walk as slowly as possible through yesterday's valley Staring at moments my mind has drifted from Oh, how the years have been good to me all along I was given her heart; the most kindest one... This journey is filled with pieces of how I survived And, each picture is signed with her loving heart If only I could travel this path just once every day I'd never feel the distance that keeps us apart... Yesterday's valley is the one way I can see her again So, forgive me if I hold on so tight And, one must understand why I cry to that shiny moon I didn't mean to drift away from her eternal light... Yesterday's valley finds me loving as much as I could And, today finds me much the same I've lost the words through time that's been given to me And, I've allowed myself to fall right with the rain... Never have I forgotten her place in this world at all And, may God remind her of just where I was May she feel in her heart to take yesterday's valley, too So, she may feel from me how much she is loved... Saun Sauni :) |

Saunni~ I knew from the beautiful title that I would like this one ... and I certainly do. I've saved it to remind me that others also walk yesterday's valleys and that I am not alone in my thoughts. Thank you, sweet lady. I'll meet you in the valley. Bless you. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me |

 Truly a flowing piece that weaves a story so very well. Tactile imagery and soul that would have every woman sighing. Excellent. "I am not now that which I have been." |

A memory is a wonderful place to find yourself when the memory holds a smile. This is written very well, it's cohesive and flows without effort. |
