Every day is a fresh beginning.
Every morn is the world made new,
Ye who are weary OF sorrow and suffering,
Here is a beautiful hope for YOU,
A hope for me and hope you.
All the pnst things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover,
Yesterdays wounds which smarted and
bled
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday nov is part OF forever.
Bound up in a sheai which God holds
tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days
which neI er
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their fitness O. sunshine or Sorrowtul night.
Let them go, since we cannot relive them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, and forgive them:
Only the new days are our own.
Today is ours and today alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth, all reborn:
Here ars the tired limbs, springing lightly
TO face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn
Every day is fresh beginning:
Listen. my soul, TO the glad refrain,
And spite OF old sorrow and older SHINING,
And, puzzles forcasted and possible pain.
Take heart with the day and begin again.
