FROM YESTERDAY

Written for StormyLady's Contest

From yesterday when we fought
For independence; shedding tears
Caused by the ravages of war;
Hoping still for better years -

Today we share laughter
Preparing for the celebration
Of hard-won victory
To become a freedom-loving nation.

Tomorrow we will have our dreams
And no more tears or sorrow
Let freedom ring throughout the land
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow!
