"Makes Life Worthwhile" a new writing

The Morning arrived, beginning with hope.

Quickly life tried to impose its hassles

Skirting the edge of anger, I said Nope!
I will face my trials and be Facile

Hurdles leapt, obstacles overcome, I now wait.
The next event is one I really joyfully anticipate

If only I could remember this to avoid the bait,
So that in the future I will not be tempted to Hate

So the day begins with progress and joy,
Such as this should make me feel like a boy.

Beginnings like this are what makes life worthwhile.
