Brand New Day

Yesterday was yesterday And that's where it will stay Tomorrow is tomorrow That's always miles away Today is today One whole day Fresh and new With opportunities on display. How will you greet, This brand new day? Will you go back to sleep? To while the hours away. Or will you rise With an optimistic view And with open eyes Do the best that you can do.

At 85, I feel that everyday's a bonus, good or bad. I could not agree with you more, Daniel. Thank you, for the encouragement your comments give me. Take care, Shirley
