A Lifetime of Yesterdays

By James C. Coomer

The process of aging occurs one day at a time. It is cumulative and at some point, every person becomes aware that they have more of life in retrospect than prospect.

Under ordinary circumstances, that awareness comes as a surprise: it is suddenly there; unbidden and unexpected. Suddenly one is forced to face the reality that there are more yesterdays in one’s life than there will be tomorrows.

This is a collection of poems for those who have become aware of that reality in their own lives.
