Facing a Brand New Day

This morning, I renew my faith in man
Whispering into the morn's early light,
Waking to a new twenty-four hour span
Shining into opened eyes, the sun bright,
I am a man--forcefully proud, upright,
Feel the heady rush of fresh optimism
Escaping yesterday’s foul cynicism;
Looking ahead to novel adventure
No more reason for rampant skepticism,
Will accept no hate-filled, angry censure.

I agree "No more reason for rampant skepticism," - it never helps us.
