Here is some verse that I did some time ago. But it still makes sense so up it goes.
Each dawn I wake as fresh laid snow,
My impurities aside, hid ‘neath the mantle.
As spring fed ice, perfect and clear, Brilliant with light
And in the day, many choices, some black, some grey, some white.
To choose wisely, with heart, and mind, and life;
And near dark’s sweet embrace I review them each night.
Where was the wrong? Where was the right?
Which have I learned? Which is my way?
Yet today I have faith. Today I have sight
Each dawn I wake as fresh laid snow,
Perfect and white.

This one to me reminds that every day is a new day. It doesn’t matter what happened yesterday. It only matters what I do with today. This means that each morning when I awake I get a fresh start. I get to define today in terms of today, and I don’t have to carry the crushing burdens of yesterday forward. Using this allows me to continue even in the worst of times, and helps keep me grounded in the best of times. No longer do I have to be a slave to my past.
