Look to this day
for its 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 every yesterday
a memory of happiness
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope
Look well, therefore,
to this day!

........An Old Sanskrit Verse
