Missing Yesterday Poem by Noel Tupan

How I missed the days that were gone
When as a kid I only play
Whatever problem, I care none
Looking forward for the next day

I missed the days when I’m in school
Learning new things to feed my brain
Sometimes naïve and being fool
And learns to take success and pain

I missed the days when I was a kid
And during times when I am sick
For mother stays beside my bed
Giving me medicine to take

The yesterday I really missed
For it was when I learned to dream
It was the time that I had wished
That someday I soar and gleam

Those days full of memories
Is now part of my history
Whether there was fun or worries
I’ll always miss my yesterday
