There are three days, which shall pass by.

For two of them, we should never cry.

 Yesterday is gone, and it won't return,

And tomorrow's candle, should not burn.

You cannot change the things you said, when yesterday was here,

But make today a better one, and spread a little cheer.

 Don't dwell on "yesterday”. You can't bring it back,

Just make sure today, you don't walk that same track.

Yesterday is over, words spoken in such haste,

You cannot take them back, but they can be replaced.

 Replaced with words of love, and a smile upon your face,

Holding someone close, in a very soft embrace.

Let go of yesterday, it's over and it's gone,

Today is new for you, with breaking of the dawn.

 Today will rise in splendor, or may be full of rain,

You decide to live it, whether smiling or in pain.

Today is what we live for; enjoy what we can,

Live  to the fullest; love God and your fellow man.

 I’ll leave you with this message, and hope it warms your heart,

Please spread a little kindness, it’s not too late to start.
