Yesterday Came

Pop64

I was awake, but didn’t hear the knock,

when yesterday came to my door.

Here I am today, regretting the fact

that yesterday is now no more.

It came with an offer to change my life.

Opportunities were to be mine.

But I, in fact, let yesterday go

and now it is all behind.

So, when days come to knock upon your door,

be sure to open it wide.

Let them know you are ready for

whatever they give you to try.

Then you will be the better off

for have given the day its due.

The day will be sure to open up

the future that is promised to you.

    Clever and a good message. Being open to opportunity and making the best of it. A great metaphor and very positive.

        Beth, thank you so much and always answer the door, but ask who it is first.
