If, like a Cherokee warrior, I can look at the new day

[DawgHammarskjold]

If, like a Cherokee warrior, I can look at the new day as an opportunity
to stand on new ground, then strength and courage are on my side.
I will remember that things do work out, bodies do heal, relationships mend
--not because I said it, but because I believe it.
But it is time to make things right, to stay on the path.
As water runs fresh and free from the woodland spring,
so new life and meaning will bubble up from my own inner source.
I will be still and steady, because there is nothing to be gained
by showing fear in a chaotic world.
