Look for yourself in yesterdays footprints The wind has erased your passing Look for yourself in the thoughts that you had a year ago You are not there you barely remember what you had for breakfast last Tuesday We wake, we think thoughts and we journey over the day The hills, the valleys Emotional highs […]
