When Next You Meet a New Today
When next you meet a new today
How did you spend your yesterday
Did you work hard or did you play
And if you spoke what did you say?
When provoked did you walk away
And save it for another day
Or let your temper go astray
Then wish you’d gone another way?
You try your best most everyday
Your troubles and pain not to weigh
Some days you seem to make headway
As from right path you do not stray.
New promises made you must obey
So with your folded hands you pray
That you’ll do better come what may
When next you meet a new today.
