Day: August 8, 2024

Heard an old song by the Carpenters
Called Yesterday Once More.
And it took me way back to a
Yesterday once more before all the
Division and the strife now in this life.
I remember cooler, smoother times
When news was more objective,
And nobody was crying fake news.
If I could invent a prototype time machine,
I’d be there having some happier times
Yesterday once more in those better days.

Bob Boyd

The man in the song is singing
He just don’t want to be lonely
Amazing how this seems to
Be a common denominator
In most of humankind as
Seemingly is the need to
Find true lasting love
Tragic how love often
Doesn’t last and many
Who just don’t want to
Be lonely are lonely at
The end of their lives
How I wish love could
Endure forever and
That no one would
Ever have to be lonely

Bob Boyd

Severe weather alert
Wind blasting rain
Into crazed sprays
Trees shaking madly
Raged pitter patter
Of raining striking
Houses and streets
Power going on and off
Nature in an upheaval
And the world is wet

Bob Boyd
