Look To This Day

Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.

The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of achievement Are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; And today well-lived, makes Yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day; Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
