Yesterday was good
I walked alone
I watched the world around me
I watched the kids play, the dust rising from the ground
I listed to their voices, they talked and shouted from the playground
Yesterday was good.
I watched the sun set, the horizon pinkish orange rays
I watched the traffic lights from afar in the city
I watched the taxis drive by from, to town
I watched everybody hurring home, from town
I listened to their voiced, they talked in lower tones
Yesterday was good
I watched the women and men pushing wheelbarrows home, from Fetching water from the public pipes
I watched my grandma make some fire
I watched my younger brother chase after the hens and rooster
I listened to his voice, he laughed and giggled
Yesterday was good
I walked alone back to the homestead
I watched grandma making coffee
I sat by the fire sipping my coffee
I watched the fire burning
I looked up and felt at peace
I saw the dark sky
Yesterday was good
I retired to bed feeling good
Yesterday was good.
