Just Yesterday..

Anne Brehm 1962 (Neptune)

June 23 
Rhymed
Just yesterday, you were here!
Life, then seemed so clear!
Next thing we knew,
Please say, it isn't true!
It was time, for you to go,
How did we, not know?

It was like a dream
What did it mean?
Just yesterday,
we were laughing!
Please say,
this isn't happening!

Now that you're gone,
Whatever went wrong,
GOD had other plans,
It was in his commands!

Just yesterday, you were gone,
But today's, a new dawn
We celebrate your love,
Fly high with the doves
