from One Poem Only
New DawnKyeremah Smile on me,the Sun is awakening.Yesterday and today left no crumbsWe begin from there.I won't tell you how to live But be happy, be happy One step at a time Love, eat and prayGive thanks and make merry.Today will be gone So will you, someday But what will matterIs that you lived well.So be happy,be happy.
