It was a beautiful day today.
A light breeze and enough warmth 
to make you open the windows. 

Some call this Indian Summer. 
But to me, it was a door into 
Yesterday. 

As I drove through the farmlands 
of Pennsylvania my mind wandered. 
Soon the smell of fresh cut lawns and crops
took me back to a time long ago. 

I was a boy again, running through the 
open fields around Baltimore. 
Through the woods to the creek 
where you just had to stop and 
take a dip. 

The sun is warm and the breeze is 
just right. I could hear my friends 
on the diamond getting ready to start 
a game. For a day like this was full 
of baseball and dreams. 

And when I looked up, 
I noticed that the light had turned green 
and I was holding up traffic. 
Gone was the dream I was having, 
but the smile on my face will last 
the rest of the day.
