Yesterday

As we stumble into Oblivion
Not wanting to be in today
We do all we can
Without being able to bring back Yesterday

As we wish for the past 
And try to make the good days last
We cry out for Yesterday

We look at the faces 
So real and true
That remind us today is today 
And tomorrow is too soon

At times we pray 
That today wasn't today
And stare behind ,at our steps
That behind us forever lay
Back in the times, of our Yesterday

We look ahead to the future, straining to see
So sort of sign 
That isn't bleakness but glee
That lies ahead, in tomorrows Yesterdays
And seeing nothing
We bring sadness into today
As we slowly drift away 
And watch tomorrow become today
We long for the understanding, of Yesterday
