What Is Right? Poem by Gelila A Gobena

Here starts my day
a lovely day, another day
I am so blessed to have at my hand.

Another chance for a new beginning
to do my best and do what’s right
until I retire on my little pillow later tonight.

I welcome my day with a smile so bright.

Now this makes me wonder and ponder
to understand what is right;
I take such a deep deep breath
imagining as if today is my last;
I hear my soul whispering
with hunger to my heart
making my lips so eager
to thank God with a humble heart.

I close my eyes and hear a breezy music
that feels so right
then I see clearly that everything
before today belongs to the past.

God you are so gracious to let me see what is right
I feel so humbled to have another day for a new start
until I retire for the day on my little pillow later tonight.

Do you ever wonder what is right?
