Time Machine [Limited Edition]

yesterday is done, dusted, asleep,
today is ticking away at a fast pace, slow for some
tomorrow an unbroken egg, holds awe of the unborn, may be stillborn

yesterday sows seeds for tomorrow
today, a time to harvest deeds of yesterday
tomorrow arrives with a promise, to pollinate or pollute

hold yesterday in gratitude
be thankful for today
if tomorrow comes, feel blessed

wind, unwind, set, reset, calibrate the time machine
brand it "MINE"
it's a limited edition
gifted by mother to her child
