The Passing Of Yesterday Comments

This brought me in mind of the opening lines of Gordon Lightfoot's lovely but very sad song, Too Late For Prayin' It was only yesterday When I heard the teacher say Patiently, one and two make three We were children you and me You capture very well in this one the beauty, glory and sadness of life and its endlessly cyclical nature. I sometimes wonder though if the tender years aren't the periods at the start and the end, with the phase in the middle - the programmed breeding period to put it crudely - as the functional phase. With the passing of the breeding phase we seem to move into one where we become more self aware, less programmed even and genuinely more sensitive again than we were while doing nature's bidding. Just a thought - perhaps a phase I'm going through. Apologies for taking up so much space. You got me thinking again. Good poem sir. Thanks, jim

So very true David... Do you not think though as kids, the days where long and slow... great writing 8
