The Great Conundrum

the problem with the past,

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you sure can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

the problem with the present,

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you sure can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

the problem with the future,

is yesterday and tomorrow;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you sure can’t

guarantee tomorrow;

feelings fade,

sliding out the door

like unwanted

house guests,

fleeing into the

surrounding wilderness

never to return,

never to be seen again,

the pain comes,

the pain goes,

here today,

gone tomorrow,

just a passing moment,

piling upon a mountain

of yesterday’s moments,

cascading into fresh moments

of today,

patiently waiting for

new moments of tomorrow,

which in the end

mean very little, because;

you can’t undo yesterday,

and you sure can’t

guarantee tomorrow.
