Today's Page

...when dawn begins to yawn its painted hues
the day a page of newly written dues.

...we rise with hope released with fresh ideal
then step outside on paths designed by feel.

...ahead we see our possibilities
but also plights that bring us to our knees.

...with hands that help to share the burdens born
our way is full of wonders often worn.

...let stars at night release the pain from you
to wrap your heart in light of peace renew.

...and stay your way to sleep without a care
tomorrow comes to all no matter where.
