Response To Tia Maria's Yesterday Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Rearview mirrors show
What has gone before
But not what's in store.

And looking about
Only reveals what is,
Which flows quickly past.

The future is
As the future
Will be.

Life is for living!

(Her poem: Yesterday

We cannot change yesterday,
but it's over now & we have today.
A new beginning, a time to share.
A life worth living, filled with care.

There is no guarantee of tomorrow,
or if it will bring more pain & sorrow.
But in this moment we can smile,
And be lost in time for just a while.)
