Begin Afresh Every Morning

Begin afresh every morning, After the sweetness of sound sleep; Meet the new light with open eyes, Leave the twilight so dark and deep. Just start over every sunrise, To feel the warmth of the beacon; The cold eventide disappears Into thin air of oblivion. Arise again every cockcrow, To thank the Lord for His mercy; Be grateful for the air we breathe, And food we eat from land and sea. Set it up at the break of day, To finish what you have started; The long journey has just begun, After waking up from the bed. The cold night is about to close, For dawn to replace the evening; Welcome the opportunity, Begin afresh every morning.
