A New Day

As another day is dawning
Untouched and freshly new,
I thank God for His blessings,
And the love He gives me too.

I promise Him each morning,
I will not waste the day,
But give a helping hand
To those who pass my way.

I'll be thankful for my life
Count my blessings one by one,
Enjoy the gifts He's given me,
Until my day is done.

When evening shadows fall
And it's time for me to rest,
I can kneel and say to Him,
Today, I tried to do my best.
