Longing for Yesterday
A lifetime completed way too fast,
left sorting through memories of the past,
if only we had known which moments would be the last.
If only more would have been said,
and in a more loving way instead,
if only we had known the road that lay ahead.
A loved friend was taken away,
so many wishing you could have stayed,
so many left longing for yesterday.
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
