My Yesterday Poem by Debra Masky

As I stood by the banks of river

I see the frogs croaking

And hopping so happily along the river bank

I wish I was so happy like them.



All of sudden the water hits the bank,

There was a big splash

And I was sprayed with water

I was suddenly disturbed from my thoughts

And felt a sudden chill for the water was very cool.





There is no clue to the missing pearls

That fell from my eyes

For they have a sweet story to tell

A story - of our innocent love.



There were many letters that I wrote to you

For which came no reply

My hearts yearns for you.

For those sweet moments and the

little time that we had spent together.



I remember my first date with you

I was shy for I was so in love with you.

You held my hand in yours

And kissed them ever so gently.

I was so mesmerized by your love.



Then all of a sudden another wave hit me

And I am shattered and stand lonely

On the banks of the river

Little pearl like tears roll down my cheek

Filling the rivers as it rolls by down the stream



I need to find a way,

To find my yesterday,

I want my yesterday back.

I don’t care for today, or tomorrow

For it will be another day.

But where is my yesterday?



A broken heart with a shattered dream

I move on to find my yesterday.
