New Morning...

As the darkness fades,
as the new day is made
in drops of light and color
that never fail to fill me with wonder,
i can sit and muse
upon my gains and blunders
and see which outweights what...
and the butt of the joke
doesn't always laugh,
sometimes we are the last
to see our own gaffs
but always give your all,
all that you have
for that is all that you have
The chance to laugh,
the time to cry,
the things that define us,
what makes us ask why
are drops in this ocean of life
From the heights of elation,
to the darkness of strife
take it all in...
Breathe out
and begin again..
