A New Day Poem by Cheryl .J Barclay

This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given
this day to use as I will.

I can waste it, or use it. It can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy, its beauty and its achievements, or it can be filled with pettiness. What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but I
shall hold something which I have traded for it.

It may be no more than a memory, but if it is a worthy
one I shall not regret the price.

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil,
success not failure.
