A Fresh Day

It is so good to wake up to a new morning

A fresh day rolls out from the golden dawn sky

Beckons me to have a grand start


So good to start a nascent day with zestful spirit

It grants me with vision beyond the horizon

And endorses my ambitious proposition


Yesterday’s sorrow is forsaken

Frustration interred

My courage is awakened, fear voided

Undauntedly, I stride forward


And when my stamina is consumed

By the day’s drudgery

It is so good to have night

As it sends away the dragging day and

Refresh my weary body


Before it begets another new day
