A day for cliches it does not seem
A day for hope, perchance to dream

A slate scrubbed clean
Don't bite the hook, don't be mean

Refrain, hold back, to yourself be dearer
The future requires you look in a mirror

The mind it swirls, finding safety in art
Tying to pieces that touched your heart

Be thankful how you came to grow
When you yourself you got to know

One of my favorite of Frank's based on cadence.   

 And a famous Shakespeare piece parsed to death many years ago in a rigorous AP English class...

From quotationspage.com  in The Merchant of Venice

 The quality of mercy is not strain'd, 

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven 
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: 
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 
'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes 
The throned monarch better than his crown; 
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, 
The attribute to awe and majesty, 
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; 
But mercy is above this sceptred sway, 
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, 
It is an attribute to God himself; 
And earthly power doth then show likest God's, 
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, 
Though justice be thy plea, consider this, 
That in the course of justice none of us 
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; 
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render 
The deeds of mercy.
