Take Me Back To Yesterday
When I didn’t have much to do
I could spend hours following an ant
Or watch a flower sparkle with dew.

Take Me Back To Yesterday
To Mom’s oatmeal cookies in a Baker’s Dozen
Or count How Many Shades Of Green in clover
And just play chase with my cousin

Take Me Back To Yesterday
When I could hear the Whispers of Dawn
Across A Field Of Lilacs Spread
When childhood memories were fun

Take Me Back To Yesterday
When Sunlight Falls to night
To the care free days of play
When things were still just right.

Take Me Back To Yesterday
Reminiscing the days of the past
Take Me Back To Yesterday
I pray that my memories will last.
