Ballade of New Beginnings

The morning brings a fresh new day,
          And oh — ‘tis such a welcome sight
To see the sunrise chase away
          The hooded cloak of gloomy night;
          To feel the sunrays put to flight
The night-chilled air and early dew.
          Each day the sun ascends the height,
We have the chance to start anew.
 
Though I should wake to skies of gray,
          Or falling rain, severe or slight;
I’d have no right to feel dismay
          Because it wasn’t clear and bright.
          Or should I wake to fields of white,
If snowdrifts blocked my window-view,
          I’d still find warmth in winter’s bite
To have the chance to start anew.
 
Each morning is a grand display
          Of God’s great power and endless might,
That demonstrates in bright array
          New life — a fresh new start despite
          Past failures, doubts, despair or fright — 
Behold!  Our yesterdays are through;
          Today, no matter what our plight,
We have the chance to start anew.
 
Envoy
 
          Each day we rise with heaven’s light,
New hope is given me and you;
          Our strength restored to fit the fight,
To take the chance to start anew.
