There is a new day

There is a new day;
A day of joy, peace and hope...
A day of love, laughter and living...
A day where life seems everlasting,
and the thought of who we are and what we have gone through
finally serves its purpose!

For every old day there is a new day.
It's just upon the horizon...
A day of a mothers love;
sunsets and beaches and sand.
The shore meets to kiss your feet,
and the laughter of children never goes unnoticed.
A day that is waiting to stretch its arms wide and caress you,
hold you and rock you gently to sleep...

For every bad day there is a good day.
A day of smiles and giggles.........
Rhymes and riddles,
and the feeling of security in an insecure world....

For every hard day there is an easy day.
A day of relaxing and lounging;
comfy clothes and slouchy socks;
popcorn, movies and a good book;
accompanied by a pot of tea.

No matter what the day, old or new,
good or bad,
hard or easy...

Think about the memories you have from the old days;
They help you to embrace the new ones!

Reflect on the struggles you faced on the bad days;
they will only make the good days seem better.

Reminisce on those easy days;
they will give you the strength to conquer the hard ones.

And remember that every day is not only the day the lord has made,
but it is also a day you were not promised!

Keep it all in perspective

Live Love Laugh

God Bless You!
