Yesterday
“Don't let yesterday take up too much of today”
_by Will Rogers
Do not let yesterday consume today;
though memories of it won't fade away.
Each new today must have a turn to play-
so other paths and visions find their way.
With great nostalgia, we exalt the past-
as gems we treasure that will always last.
Tomorrow plans that new ones will be cast
to rise above those days once unsurpassed.
Yesterday, today, and new tomorrow,
together blend great joy- and some sorrow.
But, yesterday is gone- cannot borrow
time from this today and the new morrow.
Remember yesterday, but keep paths clear
to look ahead and shape more that are dear.
