Is It True By Wayne Ernzer

Is it true
that all my youth
belongs to yesterday?
the ones that
I did things with
that's what
they always say
They talk of
their life's journey
as tho its all but gone.
There starting to remember
as if it were a song
the music on the radio
that used to play back when
are used to back commercials
and takes me back again
reminds me of the loves I've had
the loves that I had lost
As tho I spent loves money
at much to great a cost
I write to ones that I knew best
I start to write
they write the rest
life's puzzles that were easy then
I want to pick them up again
I find that they are out of reach
I can not walk that length of beach
it shows back to me
like a mirror
of what I had
in yest er year
It seems I blamed the others
with the problems I had caused
there is no polish known to man
that could buff away the flaws
the gouges that I did to life
will always stay that way
I see it now
in front of me
but that was yesterday
