Yesterday Today and Tomorrow
Fri, 01-27-2006 - 11:14am

There are two days in every week,
that we should not worry about.
Two days that should be kept free,
from fear and apprehension.


One is Yesterday with its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.


All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a certain act or take back a word we've said
Yesterday is gone.


The other day we shouldn't worry about is Tomorrow,
with its impossible adversaries, its burdens, its hopeful promise,
and poor performance.


Tomorrows sun will either rise in splendour,
or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise and until it does,
we have no stake in tomorrow for it is yet unknown.
This leaves only one day,
Today.


Any person can fight the battle for just one day.
It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday
and tomorrow that we break down.


The sadness comes not from the experience of today,
but the remorse of bitterness for something which happened
yesterday and the dread of what
tomorrow may bring.
