A New Day Given

With the setting of the sun Another day has been won Deep purple and red skies blend together Mark the memories of another day forever. Once a long, long time ago My days seemed so dark and forlorn But then I realized that with the passage of each I had but to listen to the words of a sage With words that had been handed down through the age, That from the beauty of the setting sun Came the anticipation of the glorious sun-rise of another one. Time can heal all wounds of pride and heart Each day can bring bright rays of joy for a new start. The beauty of the setting sun Reminds me of another day being won. How I love to see each day that I’m given To know that I have striven To bring to my heart a joy of a life lived And the anticipation of the sun-rise of a new day given.
