Reflections of Yesteryears
Reflections of Yeseteryears Reflections of yesteryears with the sweet aromas of gram-ma’s perfume lingering in my mind. Kind words and a smile that reminded me of her love as fries potatoes and sausages cooking on the stove. Looking back with my childhood eyes, the thoughts running wild of a better place in time. Believing life was wonderful with no grief or pain numb to the suffering of my lost childhood dreams. Sexually abused by an uncle with desires of his own; with my mind racing with nightmares of yesteryears grows. Looking back has a place in your today, and looking ahead has a place in tomorrow. But, living today is what God has given us, so by His grace that is where I will stay for the day. Poem submitted by Patti S.
