Perhaps it should be New Year's every day
without those drab and doleful days
where insecurity holds sway.
Every day dawns and the sunrise makes it new.
Maybe nothing past should linger,
nothing I feel I ought to rue
and that writing finger
should wear laquer of indigo blue.

The first line says an important thing, which I think is the crux of the Drummond poem...that we have to make the change, we can't wait for a special day to make it happen. That is just surface and symbol, it is change based on whim or on some surface need, when real change happens, it's done out of not only necessity but with the idea that change is the only alternative.
I like your thoughts of the new day dawning...no baggage of the past remaining.
Thanks for entering the contest.

Perfect
I think you are so right when you say every day makes it new...Thats how we all should live and forgive me but sometimes these commercial holidays suck. Not the holidays themselves because we all deserve to celebrate just the commercial side of them that almost forces you to behave a certain way...great job and good luck
