Yesterday

Yesterday I was younger, and yesterday I was happier,

not because I was younger, but because it was yesterday.

Yesterday was easier, and yesterday I was happier,

not because it was easier, but because it was yesterday.

Yesterday was earlier, I had time to prepare for today.

Now it is today, and preparation time is gone.

Yesterday I was happier, not because I had time to prepare,

but because it was yesterday.

Yesterday I was satisfied, and yesterday I was happier,

not because I was satisfied, but because it was yesterday.

Yesterday was a good day, and yesterday I was happier,

not because it was a good day, but because it was yesterday.

Yesterday, yesterday, I'm dwelling in yesterday.

Yesterday was a younger, easier, earlier, satisfying, good, happy day.

What about tomorrow?

If I stop dwelling in yesterday, I can look forward to an older, harder, later, but still satisfying, good, and happy tomorrow. Leave yesterday behind you; look forward to tomorrow.
