Yesterday Today and Tomorrow

What did you think of yesterday, And today, what do you wish to do, And tomorrow is another day, Yesterday seems so far away, Yet today is here to stay, For tomorrow, what have you to say, Yesterday you were my singing Jay, Today you say come what may, The moon and I heave sad sighs, Dark clouds loom ahead, I tell no lies, As my heart yearns and pines, And the sun no longer shines, You are my one desire, You set my heart on fire, Feel I’m walking on a high wire, So, take this beauteous flower, My life, my soul you are my power, You are my destiny this hour, Hear me, why did you have to go, Did you not know, That only for you, my blood does flow, You are my yesterday, Please hear me when I say, Today I can no longer cry, For if I live without your love tomorrow, I will for certain die.

Jenn, I missed reading this on your big day... so sad I am late to the party! Your heart emotes as you describe the three days in life we are given: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. There is longing and anxieties, desire and love, life and death within these lines. This could be interpreted as romantic, spiritual, or even a conversation with one's soul. Any way you read it, there is truth and honesty and an endearing glimpse into your heart. Congrats on your POTD, dear friend! Blessings and hugs ~ John

When you're not with the one you love, it can make you feel so empty and lost. This is filled with so many emotions. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. Congratulations Jennifer, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Filled with such utter sadness. Reminds me of my dad’s journey since mom died. The day she died the tears flowed like a fountain. His eyes often glaze over and fill up with teardrops. He steadies himself on the love of his kids, us. He was very angry with the doc which has subsided into its place in his mind. He now knows she’s not coming back but still clings to her things. I’ve never seen true grief before. Not like this…up close and personal. Congratulations on POTD, sweet poet. May God comfort you in your woes, my friend. <3
