Yesterday : Contest

Yesterday my life began All doubts disappeared, My heart sings a different note Troubles that have turned to fun Seemed so very far away So now I smile at life Far from the frown that I once wore Away to troubles away to strife. Now a happier me is living It is so good to feel this way Looks like another chance been given As I go singing about my day Though my thoughts sometimes turn in They're happier ones than I once knew Here to life, love, I now say To the world, please enter Stay by my side ‘til my end of day Oh the future does look brighter I am sure it’s how it will stay Believe in love with joy and laughter In knowing my today was once my Yesterday

A great acrostic and could have been at the top just as easily as any of them. He had to pick some winners but I am glad it was his job. Love, Joyce

I like the way you ended it with a one word line. I was looking for nostalgia and regret. You took it in a different direction, but that's OK. Congratulations!
