Dear early riser, wave goodbye To last night's dream. Relinquish The cares and woes of yesterday Wholeheartedly embrace The waiting day with open arms Be the Christopher Columbus Of this new day. Go forth and greet The morning. Be the first to breathe in Dawn's fresh air and listen to Birds sing merrily Hit the road while the world Is still fast asleep. Be the first To arrive at destination wherever Head out with your body and spirit Chanting... Carpe diem! Carpe diem! Carpe diem!
