Yesterday Acrostic

Yesterday I thought about the fears of tomorrow All day I was sucked in that vacuum of sorrow My worries weren’t grounded in reality Troubles like these are not an extension of me Seemed like the dread made sense at the start So authentic, as if it came from a flow chart Farfetched though, this assessment that I contrived Away like some theories that are no more than jive Now I must tell the truth by stating that fear It is embarrassing, I know, but I need to be clear Looks like I’m deathly afraid to step on a crack As I was told, it’s apt to break my mother’s back Though how could that be? Well, I never asked They’re quite certain though, that she’d end up in a cast Here and now, we are starting the official today To which I must chance it, by walking a sidewalk all day Stay in doors? I wish. Oh yes, I wish there was a way! Oh, I suppose I could walk with a certain cadence I think that I can step on the concrete in segments Believe me, it’s been done, coz when I look around In my own neighborhood, and in our larger town Yesterday I saw mothers; their outlook is sound
