A New Beginning

A                                             
new day
is dawning -
a blank canvas
awaits as sins of 
the past are forgiven.
Awake my soul and rejoice,
God's mercies are new every
morning. I will embrace this day with
open arms - a gift from my Creator.

Seven is not enough! This deserves a rating of "20". There's very few people who have the gift of writing short form poetry. You're certainly one of them!
