Yesterday Came

I was awake, but didn’t hear the knock,
when yesterday came to my door.
Here I am today, regretting the fact
that yesterday is now no more.
It came with an offer to change my life.
Opportunities were to be mine.
But I, in fact, let yesterday go
and now it is all behind.
So, when days come to knock upon your door,
be sure to open it wide.
Let them know you are ready for
whatever they give you to try.
Then you will be the better off
for have given the day its due.
The day will be sure to open up
the future that is promised to you.
