Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow
Today (Director):
Lights up on the stage of Now,
Where Past and Future take their bow.
Yesterday, Tomorrow, come forth and speak,
Show us how time's voices peak.
Yesterday:
I am the scribe of memories worn,
Pages are dog-eared, tattered, and torn.
In me, you seek comfort's embrace,
Nostalgia's sweet, familiar face.
Tomorrow:
And I, the blank page yet unwritten,
With promise and potential smitten.
In my mind, your dreams take flight,
A beacon in the future's night.
Today:
Interact, you two, show us the dance,
Of history's weight and future's chance.
Yesterday:
Remember the lessons I've etched in stone,
The roots from which you've grown.
Tomorrow:
But don't be bound by what has been,
I offer a fresh and clean canvas.
Today:
Now show us how you intertwine,
In life's grand, temporal design.
Yesterday:
Without me, how can you progress?
I'm the foundation of your success.
Tomorrow:
Yet cling too tight, you'll never fly,
My horizons stretch across the sky.
Today:
And where do I fit in this scene?
The fulcrum where you both convene?
Yesterday and Tomorrow (together):
You're the moment where we blend,
Where memory and hope transcend.
In you, our voices find their song,
To you, we both belong.
Today:
So, players, what wisdom do you share?
For those caught in the now, who hear?
Yesterday:
Learn from me, but don't be chained,
By joys or sorrows that remained.
Tomorrow:
Dream of me, but don't neglect,
The present moment to reflect.
Today:
And as the director of this play,
I urge you: to live fully in today.
For I'm the stage where you both meet,
Where life's grand journey is complete.
Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Today (together):
Past, future, present, all as one,
In life's great play, we've just begun.
Each moment holds eternity,
In time's profound fraternity.
Today (Director):
The curtain falls on Now,
But rises soon, as time allows.
