“I’ll Be Back When the Day is New”

Thursday, February 27th, 2003 · 1 Comment

    It’s such a good feeling to know you’re alive.
    It’s such a happy feeling: You’re growing inside.
    And when you wake up ready to say,
    “I think I’ll make a snappy new day.”
    It’s such a good feeling, a very good feeling.
    The feeling you know that
    I’ll be back when the day is new
    And I’ll have more ideas for you.
    And you’ll have things you’ll want to talk about.
    I will too.
    It’s such a good feeling, a very good feeling.
    The feeling you know that we’re friends.

    Fred Rogers, 1928-2003

Even in passing, the man who greeted millions of us across multiple generations with a smile each day will still be with us every new day. Here’s to you, Mr. Rogers, and to embracing that feeling of being alive that you taught us.

    Brilliant and pure tribute to Fred Rogers, Gabe! It evoked memories of your childhood for me. The passing of a truly good man — you captured him. Thanks…….Dad
