Between Yesterday and Tomorrow

Yesterday has faded away
Tomorrow is an unknown day
One past, the other to come
Twixt the two we dance and mourn

Yesterday holds some mystery
Tomorrow’s hope is clarity
Today, both is out of reach
No matter how hard we seek

Yesterday brought laughter and pain
Tomorrow may bring both again
Filter the past through a sieve
Today is the time to live

Tomorrow never gives a clue
What is in store for me or you
Yet, there’s no cause for alarm
When sheltered in the Lord’s strong arms
 
Don’t worry about tomorrow
Each day has its joys and sorrows
Yesterday is o’er and gone
Today is gift on its own

Inspired by Matthew 6: 25-34
