Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday:
Snow covers our footprints
"Dig well brother! or give me the shovel"
The dark soil receives our commander
Easrth is truly a loving mother


Today:
The window frames the sky
Birds fly over the frozen lake
Two girls are making a snow dog
I take their picture and smile


Tomorrow:
Are these the same birds I saw last year?
Are those two girls still friends?
I look at the room that used to be mine
Windows closed , curtains drawn
