Begin Again is a poem of hope by Susan Coolidge. It speaks of how each and every day is a new beginning, where we can leave our past mistakes behind in yesterday, and start over with a clean, fresh slate and choose what our day will be like. Every day is a fresh beginning, All the past things are past and over, Yesterday now is a part of forever, Here are the skies all burnished brightly, Every day is a fresh beginning; ~Susan Coolidge (January 29, 1835 - April 9, 1905) Susan Coolidge is the pen name used by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey. Woolsey was an American children's born into a wealthy, influential family in Cleveland, Ohio. During the American Civil War (1861-1865) she worked as a nurse. After the war was over, she began her writing career. She is best known for her classic children's novel What Katy Did (1872). The fictional Carr family of that novel was modeled after the author's own family. Katy Carr was inspired by Sarah herself, while the siblings in the book were modeled after Woosley's own brothers and sisters. Sarah Chauncey Woolsey was also the aunt of Gamel Woolsey, a noted author and poet.
