New Day

Anew day

     New time

          New era dawning,

Newplans and challenges

     Seem to abound.

 

Oldfriends estrange

     As priorities change

Whilelives rearrange and

     New friendships are found.

 

Newblazed directions

     Discover affections

          So many selections

Tobatter about.

 

AndI in my wisdom

     Will brave criticism

Tochoose from among them

          And count them all down.

 

Forwardprojecting,

     Backward protecting,

          Ever correcting to

               Sight and to sound.

 

Laughingand weeping,

     Time crawling or creeping,

          Constantly keeping

               My feet on the ground.
