A Brand New Day

a poem by Benna Rao Goli

At a distance I heard a cock crow
Reminding me of a new sunrise grow;
I just knelt to pray
To start a brand new day.

Still I’m scared by what awaits me
I fear how this day would be;
Many thoughts dash my mind…
A smile this day, can I find?

The devil’s out there to trick
To make the new day dark;
It’s waiting to put trap on the way
To make this new day turn grey.

So I go to Lord with great rejoice
To make this day a big choice;
I believe He’ll soothe my pains
And this new day will bring gains.
