Yesterday

YESTERDAY Dr. James E. Martin ©January, 2014 Yesterday I wondered as I sat at meat All of my worries I could not defeat. My thoughts were many, Troubles compounded anew Seemed impossible to ignore So present and new! Far into the night and sleepless thought Away from all that I had earlier sought. Now I am more confused than before It does not appear that I can take much more. Looks like I’m doomed to extended pain As problems I could never easily explain. Though everyone experiences these times in life They're certainly much more than common strife. Here is an answer some hastily say To which I reply, “there is simply no way!” Stay and I’ll show you this sorrowful display! Oh I guess things would be worse I could more than these few troubles rehearse. Believe me when I to you confess In troubles like these there is much distress. Yesterday came and is now in the past!
