Yesterday

The way of life is to change,
With each new day.
Though it may seem strange,
It is just that way.
We often say things,
We tend to forget.
We often do things,
We will eventually regret.
Frequently losing track,
What we value the most.
Wishing we could go back,
But the past is like a ghost.
So cherish what you have got,
And make the best of today.
Whether you like it or not,
There is no going back to yesterday.
