Yesterdays and Tomorrows

More yesterdays or tomorrows?
I’d gladly swap for tomorrows.

Yesterdays’ outcomes can predict
neither today’s nor tomorrows’.

Beliefs wrought from yesterdays roll
down the road to your tomorrows.

The structure of strong yesterdays
and todays can shore tomorrows.

That foundation should give someone
the chance to explore tomorrows.

From yesterday’s lake of lessons
through today’s trough, pour tomorrows.

On the wings of wisdom into
the sky of life, soar tomorrows.

Healthy habits formed in years past
could mean many more tomorrows.

We’re praying that today’s struggles
bring peaceful post-war tomorrows.

Applying everything he’s learned,
Granddad hopes to score tomorrows.
