Yesterday (Remove filter)

Today is the Tomorrow You created Yesterday

We are who we are Today because we were who we were Yesterday. We do what we do Today because we did what we did Yesterday. We will become who we become Tomorrow because of who we are Today. So, if you get stuck in who you were Yesterday, instead of Living who you are Today, then who you become Tomorrow, will be shaped more by who you were Yesterday, than who you are Today. Just to ...

Flowers Are Yesterday

I never saw such a posy of carnations

A flush that shade rose to my cheeks

The day my thoughts go flying free,

And times gone by return to me,

From yesterday.

 

A Sunday bell's a timeless knell

That tolling has a tale to tell,
