The day has arrived again this year
When we reflect upon the things we have done
and the things we should do

We look inside our wandering minds
Moving forward the thoughts of yesterday
Wiping clean our imperfections

Promising to do better in the coming days
We profess plans and actions
That will act as daily reminders

Now is the time as we look in the mirror
And reflect on the sorrows of life
Reminded by the crossed ashes we see

From last years blessed palms
We clearly remember that “we are dust
and unto dust we shall return”
