Daylight

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
an endearing bouquet of care.
Greet the morning with a loving tone;
a pleasant virtue to share.

Bestow today a friendly grin
like a frown turned right side up.
Subdue mood dragging down the day
before it spills your loving cup.

Approach the morn with hopes on high
as you rub the sleep from your eyes.
Wear optimism like a coat;
hide the tattered rags of despise.

Attune your ears to the sound of life
as life presents itself with aplomb.
Breathe deep as you bask in the sun;
benefit from the soothing calm.

The day begins—it’s yours to have
and hold like a special anthem.
You may find that, in the end, it may
comfort you like a mystic rhythm.
