Joanne Liaw Poet Rhyme

A Brand New Day

Dedicated to my dear friend, Clarissa Chung

Would you stroll with me along this lovely walkway?
Let us enjoy the freshness of a brand new day
The chirping of blue birds is soothing to the ears
The fragrance of flowers is drawing us near

You've seen my garden before; do you remember?
The little girl is here; do you remember her?
Would you walk with me to that beautiful white swing?
Come now; for us, she has been patiently waiting

The tears she now sheds are no longer from sorrow
But joy floods her eyes with hope for tomorrow
She's no longer hoping for death; she wants to live
For her loving Saviour has helped her to forgive

He has forgiven her; why should she hate herself?
No longer does she hide her shame on a dark shelf
She's out in the garden; the one like Eden
At the cross of Jesus; she's laid down her burdens

She just wants to thank you for sharing her burdens
For reaching out to her in godly compassion
You have touched her with sisterly affection
The love of God has forged and sealed that connection

Nope, this is not the same friend as the other poems. Clarissa and I are still good friends. Rachel and I are sadly no longer friends...
