Yesterday life was so precious, so new
Filled with the promise
Of dreams to come true
Yesterday we held hands
And walked in the lane
Yesterday I asked you
To take my ring and my name
Yesterday we took our stroll down the aisle
Yesterday we married
We did it in style
Yesterday we had a daughter
We had a child, can this be true?
Yesterday we had a son
And now there are two.
Yesterday our daughter took our son by the hand
Helping him to walk, helping him to stand
Yesterday all of our parents
Were here and alive
Helping us along, helping us strive
Yesterday our grandparents
They were here too
Loving and laughing
Seeing us through
Yesterdays are such a very special time
Single days in a journey
All falling into line
And what do you think happens
When yesterdays are all through?
Why, we give them our blessings
And pass them all on to you.
Lifetime Of Beautiful Memories
Thank you for this poem. Every word is true to my own story. I lost my husband when our daughter was two while carrying our son.
Remember
