Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Yesterday, I Cried

Today, I am starting anew
Yesterday was an uphill battle
But it build my character
Yesterday, I cried 
But I also had time to smile
with the knowledge that my tears
Were not in vain
I released my fear
I also released my dependence
Today might be an ordinary day
But I thank God for the tears I cried, yesterday...
