Between Yesterday and Tomorrow

Tomorrow is not yesterday,
They are always a day apart.
The past has gone its own way,
And the future cannot yet start.

Today stands wedged between the two,
And refuses to let them meet.
Neither of them is here with you,
Each of them must take a back seat.

Today brings a chance to ignore,
Whatever words they may shout.
Today will provide you with a door,
You can step through to shut them out.

Within this day you can let go,
Of all that yesterday left behind.
Tomorrow, you have yet to know,
So let today clear out your mind.

Today stands apart on life’s road,
Where nothing but this moment lives.
A chance to dump life’s heavy load,
And just take what this moment gives.
