Yesterday’s Sunshine ©Mollie Pearce McKibbon
Have you ever gazed
At the clouds sailing by
On a warm summer’s day
When the breeze is a sigh?
The world seems so green
And the grass smells sweet,
It is soft on your back
Though it tickles your cheek.
The sun melts your skin
Like butter in the pan
And cloud-shadows passing
Make a cooling fan.
On days honey bees
Are so lazily playing,
The boughs of a willow
Are not even swaying.
Life seems a dream,
Forever its scope;
Times spent in wonder
Bring visions of hope.
Bank all these moments
In your vault labelled “Joys”
So you can reclaim them
And quiet the noise
That worries and struggle
Bring into each day.
Let yesterday’s sunshine
Simply fade it away.
