Your rhythm and rhyme are perfect in this piece, and I absolutely love the following:
Yesterday is gone,
With all its pain.
Like dirty water,
Down the drain.
For the most part we cannot undo our yesterdays. On the other hand, with the dawning of a new day, we are given the opportunity to start afresh. But I seem to have a problem with my new days, that is, the older I get, the more I tend to procrastinate. At the age of 69, my parents would never have sat around and wasted their days the way I seem to do anymore. They followed Ben's "Early to bed, early to rise..." motto to the letter. They were happy and life was good. Perhaps one day I will make a change for the better. I certainly hope so, and I hope it's soon. Time's a-wastin' for me, Ron, but your thoughts set forth in this poem are food for my soul. Again, you've managed to get me to thinking. And like I said one other time, that's a good thing. Wonderful write, Ron.

Nice smooth mellow flow
Many things are planned
Many are due
There is no time to waste
Before this new day is through
Beautiful Ron like a breath of fresh air. Happy New Year to you and keep writing the poems. Ty, Dani
