Dream On, Yesterday!

What occurred in days past, doesn’t matter here today,

you can’t change the way it was, no matter how it’s twisted or replayed.

Picking at your old wounds makes your heart and mind feel callous.

Live the best of your life now, by making yesterday all jealous.

*

Do the things you love that make you laugh, relax, enjoy the moment,

don’t waste any more precious time, holding on to one more second-

of what was left from a time, that left you feeling anxious.

Exuberate your joy, start making yesterday all jealous.

*

Dig down deep inside you, it’s there - and I know you know it,

find that spark you knew before you got lost and then forgot that-

you’re a masterpiece, created to be emboldened, brave and fearless.

Embrace that inner child, reclaim your peace, making yesterday all jealous.

*

The possibilities are endless, when you look at it through the eyes,

of the wounded and the broken, as they make their grand reprise.

The sky is the limit, make your mark, yet staying gracious.

All the world is your stage, live life, making yesterday all jealous!
