I Wonder Where I’ve Been?
I wonder where I’ve been since yesterday
Or was it day before, my, how time flies.
It’s not just one place that I only stay,
But where I go I can’t believe my eyes.
Did I go shopping, did I see a show?
I wonder where I’ve been since yesterday.
I maybe had Chinese but I don’t know,
Or mini golf if I had time to play.
If I went out, it must have been okay
To take a bus or taxi to the pier.
I wonder where I’ve been since yesterday;
I hope I picked up several souvenirs.
And if I’d been outside I wash the cat,
And cut some flowers for a nice bouquet.
I put on tea for Grace for when we chat.
I wonder where I’ve been since yesterday.
Author's Note
I was thinking of my childhood, a dear auntie of mine, and our beautiful Grace here at DU. <3

That's a beautiful poem and not because you remembered me:) but its the way you shared something you might or might not have done. Your aunt is named Grace too...how fascinating. A talented writer you are, my dear...I just spoke like Yoda,....:) Good read.

Thank you so much my dearest Grace..,
And it would be you who I would love to have tea with, and give you the bouquet. You’re the Grace I would chat with.

We gather up so many memories as life ticks by. This reminds us to squeeze out all those hidden in the depths of our minds. Made me reflect on my own childhood. Thank you for this :)

Oh Jade!!!!! If we only had more hours in the day to create memories of what transpired the day before.... a photographic memory would do just fine... but I often wish that I could make small ripples through time and visit those memories of yesteryear so I can cut and paste them to my soul and relive the best time of yesterday that it has to offer..... How have you been???? Long time no see/hear..... Do you still remember me???? I remember you..... Your pieces inspire me to come back home... the deep is where I belong....

Hello, dear Joe, and yes very much I remember you. It’s good to have you back. We’ll be seeing each other in April... I saw you have registered to the NaPo, I’ll be there too.
Until then, thank you for your lovely comment, take care.

Tis nice when we can be found, certain memories pull the body/mind whole-right back into that moment that feeling.
Whether this is direct people or event....
I pride myself on my memory, remembering many events from 3-4 yrs old.
Friends laugh at me, yet these things are precious ...we aRe living life and nothing is insignificant...so any memory of a moment retained, well... to me that's double the luck and living of life...to me thats "experienced"
This was a truly Beautiful Write, this circled in that confused way we roll our minds, it came out lovely and truly neat!!!

Time has no meaning when you're fully engaged - and acceptance is built on such moments. Lovely write, Josh.

Wonderful piece Ms. Jade. I bet those are treasured memories. You captured something I think many of us wonder and quickly the time flew right by us.

Yes indeed, my friend, I know you’re right. It happens to me more & more... can be scary.🤫
