A New Beginning

By Glory Obiekwe – MMM novice

The sun rises slowly at dawn

At the break of a new day

The cock crows loudly at dawn

To announce the news of a new day

I must get up, I must arise.

I must stand up with strength and vigour

I must clean up my sleepy eyes

I must face today with a strong spirit

Yesterday was rough and tough.

It gave me wrinkles and pimples.

Yesterday was thorny and crooked.

It gave me a hard time walking through.

Today is a new day

Today is a new beginning

I shall rise to this new dawn

I shall stand up to this new era

I will not let the fear of yesterday

To hinder my Joy of today

I will not let the worries of yesterday

To stop me from shining with the sun of today

I will walk in the path of today with trust

I will flow with the sweetness of the new day

I will sing along with the happy birds

A new day has come, A NEW BEGINNING.
