Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Folder: 
2006 Poetry

Yesterday is when things happened,

we can write about them or remember.

Savor the wondrous stories of our life,

for they have come and are gone forever.



Tomorrow is yet to come and is a fantasy,

just thoughts and hopes wedged in our minds.

We do not know what is there waiting,

just a surprise of life or possibly death.



Today though is special and should be embraced,

it is a gift that will only be given this one time.

Grab it quickly and hold it close to your heart,

cherish and share it with others for it is also theirs.



What is life but a mixture of the blended three,

a holy trinity if you so choose to believe.

Author's Notes/Comments: 


Written from the phrase:


Tomorrow is a fantasy, Yesterday was a story, but Today is a gift.

But today is the best
And tomorrow I will wish
And yesterday I'd rather forget
