New Day

A fresh morning free of mourning 
      and a moment of laughter and light-
A novel day in a whole new way, 
    free from the harshness of night. 
The days of yore did abhor 
as I flew into a moment of regression-
But today I pray and I must say, 
         I’ve let go of my transgression. 

A bright new sun has begun
      as I reach for the morning paper-
I’ve let go of atonement lost in the 
moment and never felt greater.
      Forgiveness I’ve given as mercy I live in 
and started to open my soul,
to the feelings of healing through the 
broken hearted; 
             my damaged heart whole.

I look forward to tomorrow, 
         free from my sorrow 
and listen to what my heart’s saying-
I allowed grace to arrive 
       as my kindness survived 
    through a lot of sincere praying. 
Renewal of my essence and 
  many learned lessons 
           gave me rejuvenation-
I realized my strength as its greatest length 
      as I’m grateful for my creation.


       My tranquil days see the beauty in
restoration free from a life I once knew-
                 no more frustration 
           just serene alleviation,
                   as my terrible days are renewed.
