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.
