A NEW DAY

This is the beginning of a new day.

I have been given this day

   to use as I will.

I can waste it - or use it for good,

   but what I do today is important

   because I am exchanging

   a day of my life for it!

 

When tomorrow comes,

   this day will be gone forever,

  leaving in its place

   something that I have traded for it.

 

I want i to be gain ... and not loss;

Good ... and not evil;

Success ... and not failure;

In order that I shall not regret

   the price that I have paid for it.

 

I will try just for today,

For you never fail

   until you stop trying.
