Begin Afresh Every Morning Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Begin afresh every morning,
After the sweetness of sound sleep;
Meet the new light with open eyes,
Leave the twilight so dark and deep.

Just start over every sunrise,
To feel the warmth of the beacon;
The cold eventide disappears
Into thin air of oblivion.

Arise again every cockcrow,
To thank the Lord for His mercy;
Be grateful for the air we breathe,
And food we eat from land and sea.

Set it up at the break of day,
To finish what you have started;
The long journey has just begun,
After waking up from the bed.

The cold night is about to close,
For dawn to replace the evening;
Welcome the opportunity,
Begin afresh every morning.
