Answer 1

Morning is
a new sheet of paper
for you to write on.

Whatever you want to say,
all day,
until night
folds it up
and files it away.

The bright words and the dark words
are gone
until dawn
and a new day
to write on.

Answer 2

Every day is a new beginning.

Answer 3

That's the main idea.
