A New Tapestry

Yesterday remembers 

plans pushed aside for 

  plans from the day before 

forgotten and revived

Yesterday remembers 

the crazy busyness of the phone 

 or someone coming to the door or 

breaking a favourite ornament

Yesterday remembers, 

in the midst of today, 

 as a dream that vanishes 

all frayed and gauzy.

Yesterday remembers 

what must be done today with 

 hope that we will pick up the 

loose threads and weave a new tapestry.

“If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.”

~ H.G.Wells, writer

(1866 ~ 1946)
