  • Salvation Of The Dawn
    Look to this day,
    For it is life,
    The very life of life.
    In its brief course lie all the truths
    And realities of your existence;
    The bliss of growth
    The glory of action, and
    The splendor of beauty;
    For yesterday is but a dream
    And tomorrow is only a vision,
    But today well lived makes
    Every yesterday a dream of happiness
    And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
    Look well, therefore, to this day.
    Such is the salvation of the dawn.
