Don't Cry for Yesterday
A Poem

Yesterday may have been low
doubts
complaints
grief
regrets
love lost
opportunity missed -
all possibilities.
Crying for the past
doesn't change the present
or the future.
What one can control
are one's reactions and actions
moving forward.
Soldier on
Fight the battles before you
Put what energy and fortitude
you possess
into building a better tomorrow.
Don't cry for yesterday.
Cheer for the strength
yesterday's challenges gave you
to be the you
you are today.
