Amanda Gorman’s newest poem is intended “to honor the hardships, hurt, hope and healing of 2021 while also harkening the potential of 2022.”
“New Day’s Lyric”
May this be the day
We come together.
Mourning, we come to mend,
Withered, we come to weather,
Torn, we come to tend,
Battered, we come to better.
Tethered by this…
