Upon the New Day

Upon the starting of the day
as the shore streches out before me
and laying upon the beach a stranded tree 
covering it were the myjestic treasurs of the sea
looking upon all the beauty i realize this is just the starting of a new day
one where things will be brighter, happier 

Later in this new day I meet a man on the road 
I stop and ask him if he needs a hand 
he gladly accepts my help with a smile and a sigh of relief
He never spoke but he had a look that would make the most hard of men smile
when I finished he nodded and I was on my way further into this new day

I walk on as the day continues on
things are looking real good for the hours to come 
I started home to enjoy the rest of this day with my wife
I reached the last two blocks to my humble home on the hill 
as I crossed the street a car sped by and I was crushed without knowing what happend

I lay there dying alone in the street
the people in their homes called 911 
the ambulance was rushed out there 
I was slipping fast into the darkness of the night
I died that night before I even reached the doors of the hospitle and when I did leave our 
earthly realm I followed the light to the gates of the judgement place before 
heaven and hell there I met the old man from before and he said I was a good man ,
the first words I had herd the man speak and then I was thrown back in to a whirl wind and i 
awoke with a jerk in the hospital where my wife sat watching as the doctors jumped back in 
amazment.

Start your Life upon the new day and help those in need it may save your life one day....
