Yesterday

MJ Fraser Yesterday brings today Like the night brings the moon Like the break of dawn brings the sun There's nowhere to run Yesterday has been and gone Talked about or sung in song Right or wrong Today is here Filled with burning, filled with fear To long for yesterday, a crackling ache A new day dawned, supposed to make For what has been, can only break Look ahead for sanity’s sake But tomorrow has yet to arrive Although indomitable, one does strive Step by step, relentless time Captured words and passable rhyme Tomorrow comes, but with what speed Always long, insatiable greed For today has come from days gone by Regardless of how or questions why But bring tomorrow, it's up ahead The food for though, life's true bread No matter what's been done or said Bring tomorrow here instead.
