Yesterday

Teresa Perkins 1967 (Pennsylvania)

YESTERDAY

Yesterday didn't feel so kind.

Yesterday the sun didn't shine.

Yesterday was just another yesterday.

Yesterday seem, so far behind.

Yesterday is just a part of history.

When i woke up today, I realized yesterday was gone, and today was a new day. I grew from yesterday.

All those memories from yesterday, that hurt, so bad.
I tuck them inside a bag, then threw them in the trash.

I thank God, for showing me yesterday!

He said put yesterday in your pass, be thankful for today. This day, too shall pass.
