Yesterday's Gone
Yesterday was so alive
Filled with love and peace
Until the illness filtered in,
The feelings did exist.
The illness struck quickly
Without warning and no fix.
It progressed until midnight
When yesterday deceased.
Yesterday, filled with turmoil,
Quietly passed away-
It's passing brought new promises
For yet another day.
Does one celebrate this passing
Or squander the new day in grief?
Today gives one another chance
That is my mind's belief.
Today is here to right the wrongs
From the ills of yesterday.
Will you take this path with me
Or will you just walk away?

The Hands Of Time
from the television movie, "Brian's Song"
Music - Michael Legrand
Lyrics - Marilyn & Alan Bergman
If the hands of time
Were hands that I could hold,
I'd keep them warm and in my hands
They'd not turn cold.
Hand in hand we'd choose
The moments that should last,
The lovely moments that should have
No future and no past.
The summer from the top of a swing,
The comfort in the sound of a lullaby,
The innocence of leaves in the spring,
But most of all the moment when love first touched me.
All the happy days
Would never learn to fly
Until the hands of time would choose
To wave "Goodbye."
