Begin Again

Begin again to start another day.
Let go yesterdays' troubles, turn another page.
We cannot know the effect of the little things we say.

Ask yourself-what good can I do along the way?
Daily life wants simple answers, you don't have to be a sage.
I just have to do the best that I can today, and every day.

Duties will be ever present;
Accept that- it is just life at this stage.
By nightfall you wonder where the time went-

But having done your best 
You know that you have earned your rest,

And then your dreams begin.
