Yesterday

It was just there but it's gone
Gone with all that made it be
What I learn from yesterday?
It always makes way for today

Yesterday a day like none other
Full of joyful laughter and fun
But it has become another day
That left behind sweet memories

A day that was welcomed to stay
Has become one more yesterday
Wishes will not bring it my way
Yesterday was just a passing day

I look at what is now yesterday
A day once in the distant future
Has joined the days from before
With buried pain and pleasure

Yesterday and all its famed glory
Is part of life's archived stories
Of what it was or could’ve been
Things left undone and unseen
