''Old and New'': Agree

Back in the days
                           of yesterday and today, or,
                             traditions and contemporaries
               ... she came.

                               Yesterday and tradition say ...
                                  leave your things home, she'll leave your things alone.
                                Today and contemporaries say ...
                                                in so many words ... heart heeds all abilities.

                               Yesterday and tradition say ...
                                               you leave, she leaves, or you take, she takes.
                                Today and contemporaries say ...
                                  that theirs were words of comfort.

She came and they left ... she never came back, nor did they, except one, me, [oldest parents and siblings passed]--I'm the lone inheritor, with a piece of paper of a new sizeable land and redesigned coastline, turned into a new land deed, along with my new will, --sits in a bank, I, in a beach townhouse in Hilo town. All three (3) are well-deposited earning interests, one happily due in ~June~.
