Yesterday's Broken

are you one of yesterday's broken
or at least bent out of shape
does tomorrow have you hoping 
that today will go away

have you considered this a lesson
in spite of the troubles made
it doesn't take a detective 
to see the blessings that it gave

turning you from the direction 
of a full blown catastrophe 
changing your whole life's perception 
to that of a greater need 

where today will be a treasure
tomorrow, something to look forward to
and yesterday can be finally laid to rest
along with the worries holding you
