I am excited to begin a day again
Beaming as a beautiful opportunity
Am happy to be healthy and past my past pain
Free to enjoy the freedom of impunity
Because this is a good day to do good things well
And those who do good things well have nothing to fear
Today may be my best day yet for all I know
Knowing the now because the next will never tell
Since now is never next since next is always now
And since now is the only time we ever are
I have a good feeling about today somehow
Being happy to be and happy to be here
So I am ready to adventure for as far
As this day and my imagination take me
Till the setting sun makes way for the evening star
To make a day of it as the day may make me
I came a long way and have a long way to go
The road rolls out before me and my way is clear
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
There can be great beauty, even Monday morning.
I will do some good today.
John
