Where did it go?

Yesterday I was home

Eating cereal

No cares

No worries

Watching an airplane

Mix like playdough

With concrete and ignite terror

Yesterday I was picking out a puppy

Little and adorable

Smallest of the bunch

Sparky became his name

Fighting so hard to scale

Two flights of stairs

To our parents room

Yesterday I was opening his present

Surprise it's for me

A guitar saying from him

Yesterday I got in my first fight

Had my first kiss

My first girlfriend

In my first grade

Yesterday I was somewhere else

Doing something I'll remember again

All these memories

Precious as can be

My personal scrapbook

Everything I've done

Failures to victories

Watching my dad cry

As he became overjoyed with pride

When I got third place

In my first pig show

Yesterday I watched my daughter be born

Felt the weight of a human heart

Swell in my desolate chest

Yesterday I met all my friends

Yesterday I got married

Yesterday I was there

Today I'm here

Reminiscing on all those years

Watching a comic on speed pages

Every action a picture

Put in motion

And at the end

Just me with a peace sign and a pen

Drawing the next few pages

Till I think about this again

How time flies and I wasn't even aware

How quick it slipped by
