Carpe Diem 3

Carpe Diem 3

The dawn awakens me to stir and rise
an energy surge is leading the way
inspired time to shout and seize the day
uplifted by the bright and azure skies

begin my day with a purpose in mind 
I gird myself to enter and transform
a strenuous task that I must perform 
my dream has come true to give me a sign

a mountain of choice that I will ascend
to seek my God with his power of love
he answers me within the clouds above
and edifies me after I descend

Your 1st stanza appears familiar, albeit, perchance your revision emanates from the stanzas thereafter, for 'tis begs memory's sake, methinks, nonetheless, an insurmountable challenge for Line, I'm sure, Aloha wk
