Yesterday

Yesterday was a day that I will remember forever

For yesterday was the first day of yesterdays 

That I can recall with love

For yesterday I was myself

Yesterday I woke in the morning

And I said this is going to be a fine day

Yesterday I recall being on my best behavior

Yesterday I recall being with 

My co-workers and friends and loved ones

Yesterday I made a pledge to myself

For yesterday I could see the path 

That I have laid out for myself

Yesterday I took my first step

Yesterday I began my journey

Yesterday was only yesterday and

Today is today and today

I am anxious to continue 

To move to the beat of my heart

Forgive

Forgive

For when I forgive

I will release all those hooks that hold me back

Forgive

Forgiving gives me the release I so desire

Forgive

When I forgive I renew my own energy

Yet I hold back

I wallow in pity

I wallow in sadness

I wallow in anger

For I can forgive others

But today, I must forgive myself
