Arise each morning and vow to endeavor,
To make this day the very best day ever.
Make a concious effort to awake with asmile,
And it will become a habit after awhile.
Take a walk and enjoy the day;
Stop and smell the flowers along the way.
Enjoy the roses along a neighbor's wall,
And the stately sunflowers that grow sotall.
Petunias and pansies, with their colorfularray,
Are just two of many that brighten theday.
The hummingbird shares with the honeybee;
Flower to flower....so delightful to see.
The cardinal, the chickadee, the wren andthe dove,
Provide entertainment in the trees above.
The grass is so green..the sky so blue;
Notice the sparkle of he morning dew.
A cheerful Good Morning to folks youmeet.
Will make your day, and theirs, muchmore complete.
For the world, each morning is a startanew,
But this day was made especially for you.
