Poetry

New Every Morning Every day is a fresh beginning, Listen my soul to the glad refrain. And, spite of old sorrows And older sinning, Troubles forecasted And possible pain, Take heart with the day and begin again.  -Susan Coolidge ------ Over the break I bought a fabulous book: Poem a Day by Karen McCosker & Nicholas Albery. As I've  read a poem each night, I've begun to feel so inspired, so uplifted, and so connected to the world. I've always loved poetry-my dad instilled in me a great love for it-  but as I've grown, I seem to love it more and more.  Poetry reminds me that I am not alone in this sojourn of life. Poetry expresses the thoughts are feelings that so often seem  trapped inside my brain.  Poetry is a companion to life that  I feel should never be neglected.  I especially love this poem by Susan Coolidge.  It's so incredibly simple, yet it hits the nail right on the head.  Every day is a new beginning, a new future  and we should face it with a full heart.  This will be the first poem I memorize in 2013.  Love always,  Ems
