I Wish I Could Bring Back Yesterday
Janice Bumbalough Marler

If I could bring back yesterday,
I would give love more lavishly,
I would hold my children more often,
I would teach them to speak truthfully
No matter the cost;
Lying is never profitable;
It will cause their precious souls
To be lost




I would teach my children each day,
Not to strive for vain glory,
For the things of this world
Will soon pass away.




If I could bring back yesterday,
I would be more considerate,
More thoughtful,
More generous,
I would share what God
Has shared with me.




I would pray more fervently
On bended knee,
I would be more forgiving,
More tolerant, more kind,
More patient,
To those who are not tolerant,
Kind and patient.
Selflessness is the key




The length of our lives is uncertain,
It is as the morning fog
You see it but for a time,
Then it is gone.




James 3: 14: “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.”

If only I could bring back yesterday.
