"Yesterdays"

Yesterday when we were young, who knew back then that life had just begun? Friends that have come and gone. Just memories that we now live among.

When I think of all the fun we had. and the yesterdays that we left behind. It sends me back to yesterday and all you linger in my mind.

I never knew that way back then. that one day I'd look back. Reminiscing about these friends and the yesterday's that I now lack.

Time has made us wiser and opened up our hearts. Yesterday divided us and kept some of us apart.

But time has taken a toll on youth and has made us realize. It's within the heart that counts, that measures up our size.

No longer do we look at one and size them up and down. Or put them in a category for us to hang around.

I see familiar faces, some vague and some not so. But they always bring back memories of a time not so long ago.

Football Games and all our schemes. Dancing with our bow's. I'm sure we all remember A trip down to the Dean's.

How bout singing in the choir? Or being Teacher's pet. Meeting in the Lobby every morning where we met.

Playing in our school band or ditching study hall. Taking those dreaded showers, even playing Basket Ball.

Being late for classes. For this we got detentions. Going to Mc Donald's I almost forgot to mention.

Signing in our Slam books. Passing notes in study hall. Remember trading pictures? with everyone in all.

Oh, I can't forget our year books. Our momento's of Yesterdays. A reminder of what we looked like. and what we had to say.

Some of us were bookworms and some of us were fair. Some of us were ornery and some just didn't care.

Each one of us were special in a very unique way. No matter where we come from, it's what we are today.

So when I think of Yesterday's, and all the fun we had. I remember each and every one of you. and the school of Gavit Glads.
