Yesterday visits in glossy dreams

Most unpleasant some serene.

Visions once erased from thought

Invade like covert missions fought.

Childhood tainted with blasts of pain

Grownups memories selectively wane.

Today brings promise of changes sought

Through hard work and demons fought.

Learning from past mistakes made

Saying goodbye to yesterday.

All grown up with responsibilities

Occasional visits from yesterday.

Tomorrow looms with uncertain promises

Hopeful infiltration of lifes best.

Working hard to forgive and forget

Making amends for yesterdays sins.

Perfect humans do not exist

Constant changes until all ends.
