What new thing

will I learn tomorrow?

I have learned so much today

about emotions and about others.

Mostly I have learned about myself,

and now I hear those things I have learned

reflected in the echoes of the voices

of the people I’ve seen today, yesterday,

and those who I will see tomorrow.

I thank God for such wonderful voices

and images.

What new thing will I learn tomorrow

as I rise and place my feet

upon God’s great world?

I can only imagine what a

beautiful feeling must emanate

from within God, to design

such awesome occurrences

in the lives of us.

There are two ways to look at life.

One is to look at it as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is to look at it as though everything is.
