This Chaucerian stanza is for Linda G. Hill’s SoCS, and the words today are old/new. Although it’s not a free-verse poem, it was pretty quick and I didn’t edit, so I am sharing it.
The old has passed away, the new has come:
This I believe with all my beating heart,
And I want to give it a warm welcome.
Every single day is a fresh new start;
Change does not come at once, but part by part.
Do not lose heart: we are works in progress,
Magnificent, and will find happiness.
That is a great positive attitude to take. I think so many people want to keep things the “same” or have things go back to “normal” but everything changes all the time.

I love this line, one can write a poem on this alone –> “Do not lose heart: we are works in progress,”
