Look to this day . . .

for it is life

the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all

the realities and truths

of existence

the joy of growth

the splendor of action

the glory of power.

 

For yesterday is but a memory

and tomorrow is only a vision.

But today well lived

makes every yesterday

a memory of happiness

and every tomorrow

a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day . . .
