A to Z Challenge and National Poetry Month combined in my
Good Words Alphabetically: Y is for Yesterday.
Yesterdays' Lessons
Yesterday may have been sweet
adventuresome, delightful
Or it might have been disastrous
sadly dark and frightful
But that was simply yesterday
Today’s a day that’s new;
A day to start all fresh again
Because you’re a new you, too.
Every yesterday you’ve had
Various circumstances
Either good or not so good
Each rhythm changed the dances
One yesterday you learned something
That molded you in ways
A stronger you with wisdom
That sustained you to this day
skinned knees, sun and friendships
Arguments and rain
Compounded your resiliency,
And trained your yester-brain.
A wiser one you’ve grown to be
Fortified from bump and bruise
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Look for wins when you lose.
