New Day Rising

 
A NEW DAY

 
 

This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day
to use as I will.

I can waste it . . . or use it for good,
but what I do today is important,
because I am exchanging
a day in my life for it !

When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever,
leaving in it's place something
that I have traded for it.

I want it to be gain and not loss;
good and not evil;
success and not failure;
in order that I shall not regret
the price that I have paid for it.
