Morning !
 




Our heavenly father,
with his broom of dawn, has swept away
the scattered fragments of a cold and bitter night!



He has left in it's place, one of his most precious gifts,
A Brand New Morning !




Clad in the roseate promise of new beginnings
it awaits our earthly pleasures.




What a priceless thing this is,
24 full hours of new born baby day,
unblemished yet by mankind's meanderings




It is here , ready to be filled up with our various needs,
our wants, promises and prayers,




It is a time to rejoice, to love , to laugh, to cry,,to just be
Whatever we want.... it is ours!




Now, we may yet receive some wonderful tomorrows
full of adventure and zest for life, however that is not a given,
And I know we had our yesterdays .. now forever gone away




This however is a brand new day ... not like any other,
It is one of a kind ... the only one in existence!




Well spent... it will gather treasure for our pile of souvenirs
well loved and often reviewed




Wasted...something we never get back to undo the mistakes


So



What we do with this gift is entirely up to us
Our choice.. it seems an easy decision


As for me,



I plan to use mine wisely and well.



How about you ?
