It's a New Day

 We are all pioneers, in a sense

Trail-blazers where none have gone before...

My one-day-a-week 'charges' LOVE to play pioneer days so yesterday for lunch

we smacked our lips over charred and creative concoctions and celebrated The Good Old Days😛

What will we celebrate today?!

It’s a new day; do not take it for granted

Heaven and earth spill with birth’s unchained hues

Here on the girth where man’s footsteps are planted

Cradle and grave fill with preordained dues

Mercy, once more metes morning’s resurrection

God is not dead as long as there is light

Hope frees dusk’s hostage weighed with apprehension

Faith finds fresh footholds where shadows take flight

Look, darkness bows beneath Now’s golden fingers

Yesterday’s morrow turns into today

Passes the baton as long as life lingers

Bids us be ready, to watch and to pray

What matter most, never changes its edict

Truth does not falter ‘neath time’s bequeathed verve

Creature is subject to Creator’s Verdict

We by the voice of choice prove who we serve

It’s a new day; do not take it for granted

Sing a new song to the Giver of Day

Here on the girth where man’s footsteps are planted

Harvest is coming; watch therefore and pray

An oldie but a goodie...

This is the day that the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ps. 118:24
