Today
 
I’ve shut the door on yesterday -
     Its sorrows and mistakes;
I’ve locked within its gloomy walls
     Past failures and heartaches.
And now I throw the key away
     To seek another room,
And furnish it with hope and smiles,
     And every spring-time bloom.

No thought shall enter this abode
     That has a hint of pain,
And envy, malice, and distrust
     Shall never entrance gain.
I’ve shut the door on yesterday
     And thrown the key away, -
Tomorrow holds no fear for me,
     Since I have found today.
 
by Vivian Yeiser Laramore: as published in “Leslie’s Weekly” (October 1919)
 
Vivian Laramore Rader was born as Vivian K. Yeiser on 16 November 1892 in Saint Louis, Missouri, United States of America, as the daughter of William Charter Yeiser and Carrie Blaine Yeiser. She took an interest in poetry, and became the editor of her high school’s literary magazine, the “Oracle,” in which she had some of her first poems published. In April 1912, she married Robert Eugene Larimore, and the couple eventually moved to the state of Florida, where Vivian taught poetry writing both at Barry College and to small classes at her home. She was appointed poet laureate of Florida on 13 October 1931 and held the position until she passed on. Her first book of poetry was “Poems” (1924), and others include “Green Acres” (1926), “Flamingo” (1932), and “Ode to Life” (1967). Her husband Robert Eugene Laramore passed on in 1936. In 1946, Vivian married Paul Carlton Rader. Vivian Laramore Rader passed on at 83 years of age on 20 December 1975.
