Defend Your Day

Some days we rise and others we fall
Some days we run and some we crawl
Sunshine will fade with cover of night
It shall return and show its light

Be sure to face each day anew
Yesterday is gone and today accrues
Face each struggle with grace and tact
Don't burn that bridge, in case you come back

Today is not lost, tomorrow still waits
There is still more time to unseal your fate
Look where you are and where you have been
Life is a challenge to face with a grin

Take each day and remember who waits
I will hold your hand as we open each gate
We are here as a pair, as one to stay
Keep looking ahead, and defend your day
