AFTER YESTERDAY

ÀFTER YESTERDAY

I sit and wonder
What a marvel a day
Can be...

It holds promise
With the first
Rays of
Daylight
But for only
Those who see it
With a smile!

How many of us
Wake up
Frowning,
Thinking of how
Dull another day will be?

A day is
Twenty four friends
All siblings
From the house of
Hours
Who join
To make us feel good
Not bad or horrible...

And how do many
Of us say thank you?

By frowning, grumbling
And being grumpy...

How bad, how mean
A lot, we are
When we are gifted
Days and days on end
With such promises
That we can be richer
Than
Queens and kings!

Yes, it is time
For us to open
Our eyes
Every morn
With a smile
And thank
The stars we got
The chance to
See a new day
After yesterday ...!
