A new day


A new day dawns, ushering in 
 Yet another new year; 
Yet another opportunity 
 To create, to reform, 
 To be thoughtful and kind and generous; 
To resist and fight back; 
To love and find love; 
To bear witness to all that is good in the world; 
That is fragile and precious, 
Brave and unique and endangered — 
Yes you, who are all of those attributes and more, 
Have been given the chance 
To be more, to explore, to give back, to redeem, 
To embrace, yet again, all the marvelous options 
 That come with a new year of life.
