Now it is today

Yesterday the sun shone bright,

over a snow covered hill

yesterday a tender sight

a bird on my window sill.

15 March 2026

Yesterday the rivers flowed

cool and clean and free

yesterday it was not cold

and sights were there to see.

1 March 2026

Yesterday my heart was happy

My heart was calm and gay

yesterday was wonderful

but now it is today.
