Classic and Contemporary Poetry


SOMETIMES by THOMAS SAMUEL JONES JR.

First Line: ACROSS THE FIELDS OF YESTERDAY
Last Line: THE MAN I MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Across the fields of yesterday
He sometimes comes to me,
A little lad just back from play --
The lad I used to be.

And yet he smiles so wistfully
Once he has crept within,
I wonder if he hopes to see
The man I might have been.
