A Little Better Than Before
We have a chance each morning…before we walk out of our door
to be a better person…than we were the day before…
Right away we notice…when our feet first hit the floor
that we’re a little different than we were the day before.
Certainly we’re a little older…but there’s also something more…
more than just our age that makes us different than before.
Love and loss…victory and defeat…we never know what’s in store
Whatever happens…good or bad makes us a little different than before.
Each day brings with it new adventures…each moment we’re awake
and we hope we learn as much from our successes as we do from our mistakes.
But on we go…we forge ahead…out into the world we soar…
hoping today we are a little better than we were the day before.
Perhaps a little kinder, more compassionate, more accepting…and what’s more…
perhaps a little wiser than we were the day before.
If not…there is one consolation…tomorrow…when our feet first hit the floor
We’ll be given another chance to be a little better than we were the day before.
