Look to this day,

for it is life,

the very life of life.

In its brief course lie

all the realities

and truths of existence,

the joy of growth,

the splendor of action,

the glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory

and tomorrow is only a vision.

But today well-lived

makes yesterday

a memory of happiness

and every tomorrow

a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day!
