Tuesday October 12, 2010 Carry on Tuesday #74

Your prompt for Tuesday October 12, 2010 is John Lennon's first line, "Close your eyes, have no fear...First I am reminded by "Carry on Tuesday, of "carry on luggage." That seems right, we are all dealing with our own baggage. I can get it, from here.
It seems like an invitation to imagine, or perhaps to remember.



This is the First Day

I shall open the baggage
That I carry,
I will sort through,
And discard all the broken
Pieces of my life.
And at the end of the day,
I shall close my eyes, and
Have no fear...

You are with me still.
This day is truly the
First day of the rest of
My life. And I will
Make it count.
I run to the future.

My bags are packed
I'm ready to go,
Lighter than they were,
I can get it from here.
You are with me still.
I have no fear!
