The Day of Disappoinments

Wasn't so bad. Things worked out.
At least it wasn't the day
Of illness or disasters.
Of course, you regret a day
Of disappointments, long, long
After you've learned to look back
On a day of disasters

With fondness for all the good
Things following contingent
On those disasters. The day
Of disappointments only
Holds the things you meant to do
You didn't manage to do.
Nothing's so hard to forget.
