Remembering yesterday
Memories writing screenplays
Unlocking moments in time
Back to days of youthful prime
Recalling life’s endless scenes
Thoughts fill so many big screens
Recounting countless favors
Smorgasbord of sweet flavors
Dreaming now, time standing still
Every mile traveled downhill
Savoring secret tidbits
Without mass media blitz
Reliving forgotten past
Days can never be recast
Harkening back to past friends
Encouragement’s dividends
Noting previous mistakes
Life offers one more retake
Beholding smallest of gifts
Miracles’ blessings uplift

Beautiful yesterday poem of memories . I recently completed an ancestral gallery wall on my staircase. It feels good to honor those before us.
