"TRYING TO FIGURE OUT YESTERDAY"


 To live In the moment, that's what we do as we take
 Hold of today,

 The past Is no more real, a memory, pictures In an  
 Album To recall.

 The things' we've lost and discovered In yesterday 
 Remain with us,

 Wanting Is a feeling, an emotion of this, our human 
 Nature.

 What do we have today that we did not have yesterday,


 A little more and a little less fore to figure out, 
 Don't know why.

 A waste of time trying to understand what's been taken 
 From a hand,

 Nothing to be gained, only loss, precious time lost 
 In thought.

 So to the future we walk with arms' opened wide, 
 What's in sight,

 To yesterday a goodbye as we no longer try changing 
 The story,

 Trying to figure out yesterday when life leads us the 
 Rest of the way.
