Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Haunted by memories of the past

Faced by the situation of today

Challenged by tomorrow

I know I have to move on

Yesterday is my history

Today is my present

Tomorrow is my future

So is it my destiny

My past was moulded by yesterday

My present by now

My future by tomorrow

My destiny by me

I try to run away from my past

But the present reminds me

It is from the past that we came

And it is the past that moulds my destiny

I try to see my future

But because I am in the present

It is only the past

That I can reflect on

I am trying my best

To do the best today

So that when today shall be called yesterday

A good tale will be told

On the day called tomorrow

Critique:	It's great how you intertwined yeasterday, today and tomorrow--makes one realize once more that these three are always connected with each other, as some of us tend to forget in the busyness of life. It actually reminds me of what my father always says--"Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today!"

Critique:	Interesting poem here that makes the reader reflect on their own yestersay, today and tomorrow. I also like the theme you put forth at the end of your poem "To do the best today", so a good tale will be told, so true. We only have today to identify who we are and those who are not proud, well, let it be. I believe people can change, a personal decision to start a new direction any time in life. Like you said, it is your destiny. Good write, Dennis
