I wrote this poem in Ronda, Spain as I sat on the balcony of our hotel early one morning during our visit to that country in September 2018. We get to begin anew each day with so much power towards realising our potential, and contributing to that of the world.
Roosters crowing as dawn does break
Sounds carry clearly across fields and lakes
Trees and rooftops act as silhouettes
The day is quiet and peaceful yet.
As we transition from dark to light
It is like opening our own invite
To start anew; to be our best;
To recognize that we are blessed.
A time to pause and to reflect
Moments to forgive and to forget
To leave the past as yesterday
To create our plans for this brand new day.
Each day is precious to live anew
To live with passion through and through
In this quiet part of the day
We should jump up and say ‘hooray’.
The day is ours to move ahead
To be the light; to be the thread
To be the change we wish the world to be
To celebrate life as a jubilee.
