It's Up To Us

“Each day drifts to our pile-
            pray, it's stamped with a smile.”
                                 _by Poet 
Each waking day arrives as new-
it's up to us how well it ends.
What lies between really depends
on how we choose what we should do.

Must think about the day's value;
how every hour is used- portends
each waking day arrives as new.
It's up to us how well it ends.

We're happy when the day stays true,
accomplishing whatever lends-
to peace of mind, our choice attends.
Then face tomorrow with the view-
each waking day arrives as new.
