Ode To Yesterdays Past Poem by Camille Casserly

I confess I rarely take the time
To thank the past for Yesterday
And that I rarely miss a chance
To mumble some complaint:

How fast you went,
How little of your time I spent,
How much I've lost to you,
How much of you I regret!

But though you took with you
Todays I wished to keep
I've not forgotten
The many Todays
That Yesterday got me through.

To Yesterdays I raise my glass
A toast to faithful friends of past
Too often overlooked and
Not too often thanked.

So here's to Yesterday -
For never forgetting to take away
The burdens of Today.
