This is a new day!
I am too much aware of yesterday
and the day before.
I know the mistakes I made then
and I know I have not risen
or progressed as far as I had wanted to.
But the important thing is
that I also know the potential
of this day.
It may be that yesterday
I missed the little things of
that day
a smile
a friendly outlook
joy in the raindrops
the flowers
or the sunlight.
Maybe my gaze was fixed
on the unbeautiful
and my heart
was somewhere else that day.
Now I know
that each day
has its own potential
and each hope is another step
toward
all I want to be.
So any door
that may have closed
to me yesterday
merely allows another
to open wide
for me
this new day!
I need to start think like that in the morning! Great!
ReplyDelete(Why are you up so late? I was shocked when I saw your comment on my blog a minet ago. (I thought I was the only one that stays up this late every day. :) )
Thanks Andrew!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am still up!
I am a night-owl... what can I say?
I never go to bed before 1:30 A.M
Take care!
Along the path of life we all realize at some point of time that little things are the things that really matter ... sometimes it is ON time and sometimes it is late!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to realize it when there is still time!

Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteAs always you have a way of making me see that there is a lighter side to things. In this poem in particular, I feel aware that I sometimes do get so lost in something else that I fail to notice the smiles, the sweet glances of others, the happy words of encouragement or appreciation. Speaking of appreciation, I appreciate your blog and optimism which is such a nice uplifting reminder to see the light side. Thanks, Steve
