A Chance To Thine Own Self Be True

With every dusk there comes a night
and every morning brings the light.
Each morning risen brings life new
a chance to thine own self be true.

For each one of us there is a plan,
trials to test every woman and man.
With faith and hope we make it through;
a chance to thine own self be true.

So rise with courage each new day
and face your trials along the way,
each day there is a coming of new
a chance to thine own self be true.

We think so much alike, no wonder we were able to collaborate so effortlessly!

Donna,  I think we should all take this,
make it about 26 font size....and put it
on each mirror in the house,  the fridge,
the bathroom,  etc...  and read it over
and over again!!!!!!

Yes, everyday is a new beginning. What a blessing that is. Enjoyed this. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Donna, as usual with you, you have touched my heart again. I believe that a person has to be "true" to themselves before they can be completely  "true" with anyone else. What makes life so great is that even if we mess up on a given day, we always have another chance the next to make things right. I'm not too proud to admit when I've made a mistake. Thanks for sharing with us.
love, Ethel

Gentle Spirit - I believe there is a plan, but sometimes I wonder just what it is...
