The Passage Of Time

Yesterday
has come to pass,
leaving behind an imprint of memories,
that has shaped us into what we are
with lessons learnt from history.

Today,
is the struggle for the future,
a trial, standing in our path
as we strive to be better
and to achieve the happiness
we have always wanted.

Tomorrow,
is a story, yet to be told,
be it the legend of the bold
or the cowardice that lingers
in the hearts of young and old.
No one knows
before the mystery is unfold.
