Taking a Step Back in Time

If we could take a step back in time -

Where would our hearts take us?

Where would we want to wander?

Reliving golden memories.

*

Just for a moment to be,

with those we have loved and lost -

to remember happy yesterdays.

*

Would we still be happy with what we have now?

Could it be that certain things,

we’ve just missed way too much.

*

If we could take a step back in time,

to the days when we were young,

perhaps we could step through that looking glass -

to see how it once was.

*

Where would we want to be?

Have our hearts found contentment

and would we just relive precious memories?

*

If we could step back in time,

like through a looking glass -

Would we miss our today’s

perhaps a bit too much?

*

If we could step back in time,

just for a few moments,

to relive our childhoods briefly -

Would those moments bring us glad smiles?

*

To a yesterday,

that once filled us with joy -

perhaps we’d see that we’ve followed the right path.

*

Perhaps our yesterdays,

are best left behind,

be content with golden memories -

that can bring us much-needed smiles.

*

Perhaps looking at old pictures,

is like looking in a mirror

and if we perchance can find the daydreams we long for,

we can relive our yesterdays just gazing at them.

*

However if we have now found,

all that brings us joy and contentment,

then let us be thankful for our today’s

and leave our yesterdays behind..
