New Day Dawns

There is no now in yesterday
Let your yester fade away
Day defines the dawning of the way
Seize the now, seize the day
Now is the way for today
Yester defines that which is gone
Do not stay locked where you don’t belong
For there lies the garbage that blocks your dawn

You're right, Kenneth. Gotta update Paul McCartney's old hit ("Yesterday."). There was, however, another hit I remember called 'Yesterday's Gone.' 'Chad and Jeremy,' a British duo, I believe, sang it in the late 60's. I could be wrong there as the year(s) as well. Cheers, Gershon
