Salutation to the Dawn


Look to this day!
For it is life
The very life of life
In its brief course
Lie all the varieties and realities
of your existence.

The bliss of growth
The bliss of action
The splendor of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
And today well lived,
Makes yesterday a dream of Happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of Hope.

Look well,therefore,to this Day
Such is the Salutation to the Dawn.
