Beware Be Wise About Yesterday

The first 3 letter of 'Yesterday' spell 'Yes'.
But beware and be wise about saying 'Yes'
To your yesterdays. Many of them could
Be very dangerous to your 'Today'.

The idea of such can be very appealing,
But it can also be most deceptive and
Leave one with the need for much healing.

Experience often teaches us to chart our
Yesterdays as we would a minefield. One
Unwise or inadvertant move could be
Explosive and destructive.

So, let us beware, be wise, be prayerful,
and handle our yesterdays with care.
