Yesterdays

At times when things are hopeless; Ones you love are far away; Remember the cheer and laughter From a long-gone day. Read what you wrote in your diary On a day when you were sad- Then read what you wrote the next day, When somebody made you glad. Look back at a photo taken Of you with all your friends Distance can never erase that Or make a friendship end. Watch a movie you made at a party With no real meaning or plot Hear the laughter and the giggles And be thankful for all you've got At times when things seem hopeless; Ones you love seem far away; Remember the cheer and laughter Of a recent yesterday.
