All In a Day Resubmitted

86400 precious to seconds in a day
It's stupidity to while them away
Much can be done in a single day
If lived in a wise and judicious way

Thoroughly enjoy every moment  
Every second collect beautiful moment
Move about with a smile in the face
Lend helping hand with humility and grace

Talk positive encouraging words ever 
Let your life be inspiring ever 
Set an example through the day
On how to be happy in every way

Live in the moment, without thoughts
Many a moment are lost in thoughts
At task in hand if you keep your mind
Immense peace and happiness you will find

Follow your conscience, its always right
You will not sin, sleep peacefully at night
With sensitivity and dedication do your duty
Guilt free you will be, that's the beauty

Today do all that you crave for here
Tomorrow may or may not be there
Live Such that if death were to knock today
You will be unperturbed for you fully lived your day

People should wish you lived more
long after you are no more
