Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
I’ve never known such wrenching sorrow
I had the greatest life yesterday
But did not appreciate or
Knew it would end
Today is on hold and yet passing
Through and moving quickly
Toward the past
Tomorrow is not yet here
But I’m not excited to see it
On the horizon
Or yet see what it will be
Because I am lost in the past
With sorrow and regret
I once was blessed with the
Greatest life on earth
Until I suffered a loss
So profound my life is now lost
No guiding Light or joyful instinct
That comes with the anticipation of
New experiences, sunrises or sunsets
No expectation that strength will
Sustain or support my shattered heart
Peace is forever yonder away from
My fretting wounded soul
Faith is not yet restored to give me
Courage and the fortitude to create
A hopeful future of tomorrows
Only grace in large measure can
Save me from my yesterday, today,
And especially the rest of my tomorrows
Am I worthy of this grace?
I am not sure
Do I dare ask or hope to understand
Why my yesterday changed my today
Or if there will be peace within
My heart and soul
In any of my tomorrows?
