Yesterday and Tomorrow As I watch the brilliant sun set It is the most delightful sight For it’s so post card perfect As another day had taken flight Old house with many memories It gives me such a chill Can a new one ever replace it? A daunting task for it to fill A crumbling tumbling barn How sad it is to see It too has many memories That it brings a tear to me And then I see a farm That produces with a zest But it’s really the old farm That warms my heart the best There are so many memories Even though the old brings sorrow I enjoy seeing the difference in Yesterday and tomorrow!

TWILIGHT In the twilight, slowing falling. Is the shadows of the night. As the sky turns to deep purple Birds stop flying in the sky They will gather in the tree tops And they'll coo their lullabies As the moonshine starts to gather In the pretty western sky There's a silhouette so stately Of a windmill oh, so grand Reaching towards the starlit heavens Oh that windmill made by man It has served the farmers dearly Things can never be the same When those windmills will be taken And replaced with modern things Here's a sight that should be taken Held in memories, the sight Of the vanes that keep on turning In the stillness of the night.

The World of Mom: My mom taught me Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good life

Remembering Grandpa’s barn refuses to yield to father time. Happy memories keeps it standing overlooking Grandpa’s farm. Grandpa’s memory lives within it's crumbling walls, walls that once heard laughter and sounds from contented farm animals. I stand quietly recalling when grandpa's barn stood proud and tall, also, remembering my youth, when I stood a little taller too. Ralph L. Clark ©
