LOOK WELL TO THIS DAY

Look well to this day,

For it and it alone is life.

In its brief course

Lie all the essence of your existence:

          The glory of growth

          The satisfaction of achievement

          The splendor of beauty

For yesterday is but a dream,

And tomorrow is but a vision.

But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Therefore look well to this day!
