It doesn’t have to be a sad day

all right a glad day.

It needs no symbolism.

It only means

we have record

of another year.

We could just

call it another day,

but somehow there is more.

We were told

we can decide

when it is we want to believe

in purpose.

We were told

we have to find a reason

to live our lives

as in a dream.

Our reality

causes us to wonder

about then

and forget about now.

What happens next

depends upon the day.
