I'm Feeling Some Kind Of Way

by Denise Jefferson   Oct 28, 2016


I'm feeling some kind of way
Remembering days gone by

Of us, of we
As children running and playing

And having fun
As we played our games as one

With memories

Of the hi, hello's
No sir, yes sir

Of our parents in quiet times

Sitting in the yard
Sitting on the porch

And children catching fireflies

I missed those days
And thinking now

On quieter times
When things,when days were simple

One by one

The days, the people, the friends
They left our life

Never again to see

So here I sit and think
On memories of yesterday

Wishing for those days again
For smiles, for voices, for hugs

But knowing there will never be
The yesterdays we shared

But still I'm sitting and thinking
And feeling some kind of way

    Hi Denise,
    Welcome to the site...as I read your piece I just lowered my shoulder and lowered my eyelids. As if something pulled inside me... as if I'm the one talking here...as if I'm the owner of this piece...I think I just need my pillow and blanky to hug me . .hmmmn nice piece I can relate to this...

    So here I sit and think
    On memories of yesterday

    Wishing for those days again
    For smiles, for voices, for hugs

    But knowing there will never be
    The yesterdays we shared

    But still I'm sitting and thinking
    And feeling some kind of way

    (Feelin this way right now)
