A Day

If yesterday is in the past
And tomorrow we haven't seen
I guess that only leaves today
That's somewhere inbetween

Yesterday is just a memory
And tomorrow is for dreams
Today is the day for living
No matter how hard it seems

Never put off til tomorrow
The things you can do today
Today, you have those things to do
You should have done yesterday

Yesterday is a day before tomorrow
And today, the day after yesterday
Tomorrow is the day after today
Or maybe, it's some other way?

And now, since I'm quite confused
And there's nothing left to say
I guess, this poem is over 
And I'll probably just call it "a day"
