I Greet You On This New Morning - Max Reif

[Larry Robinson]

I Greet You On This New Morning 

Moment by moment,
like the resurrection of the gods!
New Sun, New day, new opportunity!

If we don't get it right,
there will be another,
and another,
but let us be here now
to usher in this one
while the Light is full upon us,
new wind filling
the sails of our hearts!

And if there are any 
who shrink from this sight,
let their eyes be cleansed
until they see the  glory 
of human brother-and-sisterhood,
the union of soul and soul,
the opening of time,
the way we need to be...
hearty, smiling, pointing the way forward
to the Realizationof our Pledge:
With Liberty and Justice for ALL!

Sail on, sail on,
Oh mighty ship of state!
Oh, farther!
Oh, farther, farther still!
