Ode To Yesterdays Past

I confess I rarely take the time To thank the past for Yesterday And that I rarely miss a chance To mumble some complaint: How fast you went, How little of your time I spent, How much I've lost to you, How much of you I regret! But though you took with you Todays I wished to keep I've not forgotten The many Todays That Yesterday got me through. To Yesterdays I raise my glass A toast to faithful friends of past Too often overlooked and Not too often thanked. So here's to Yesterday - For never forgetting to take away The burdens of Today.
