A New Day
December 4, 2018
A new day is dawning
A day to spread light and cheer
To be the best you that YOU can be
No matter what the year
It doesn't matter if its gray and cloudy
Less sunburns are great, don't you agree
Nor does it matter if the sun is blazing
That's why people build houses, if you ask me
Go outside and listen to nature
Hear the wind whistle through the trees
Listen closer…
Each tree has its own notes, you see
So don't whine or complain
It is a waste of your time
Go help someone you love
It will make your day fly by
Whether the weather is gray
Or whether the weather is bright
Remember to be the best you that YOU can be
And things will turn out alright

I wrote this poem on the second day of 2018. I have had challanging events occur in my life, like my parents divorcing, attending a strange new school, and dealing with 3 category 5 hurricanes. I wrote this poem for myself, to remind me that when you live your life to its fullest potential, you can make it better.
