Live Greatly Daily
The sun stays the same but why should I?
Are there not days in which I rejoice & yet others in which I cry?
I may look the same now, but the wrinkles will come,
Some days seem routine, but only some.
A small moment can alter one day in big ways,
So, no I will not limit myself, not tomorrow, not today.
Each breath I take, and time I arise,
I may choose to improve or forgive, say hello to a new friend or to an old, say good-bye.
I could choose to live each day near the same -
Consuming the same meal, playing the same game,
But I choose variety and newness, to maintain my purposes and stay fresh,
Gaining clarity and growing, though I will live in this body - this flesh.
My mind and goals will change, as will my emotions,
& I will live greatly daily - what a great notion.
