Yesterday Poem by John A'Hern

Yesterday came and then it went
Went where? for me to lament.
Days come and go
Mostly go to where who knows.
A new year starts and then builds speed
Minutes then hours turn into days.
As we grow older, time accelerates
What day is it today?
Who cares who knows?
The end of a year is strange indeed
A holiday, religious once upon a time
Unfolds and brings families together.
Giving receiving, does it matter?
Happiness fills our very souls
No explanation no story to unfold,
Believe or not it does not matter
A strange feeling within our very souls.
Then a year ends and a new one takes its place
The one that ended was good and bad
Dealing out a helping of both.
Is there a ledger keeping the score?
Do we need to make resolutions?
It is good for our souls.
Lose some weight
Have more patience
Broken promises lay in pieces.
Take deep breaths
Back into the fold
Good and bad, WHO CARES WHO KNOWS?
