Trying

I attempt to live IN each day
I don't wish to know what tomorrow brings
I already know what yesterday held
It is today that makes a difference

As with anything, an attempt is not always successful

The tomorrows hold little fear for me
Yesterday seems intent on staying close at hand
And today is in danger of passing too quickly
I need not go back from where I came

Perhaps it is purely a choice that somehow must be made

Am I truly a creation shaped by all of the past
It may not be beneficial to forget my yesterdays
Yet surely to remember all serves a lesser purpose
Do I find the common ground as I get older

Lessons in life still to be learnt, but it would seem I lost my manual
