Today

Outside my window, a new day I see,
And only I can determine what kind it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay
Or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.

My own state of mind is the determining key.
For I am only the person I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help
Or be selfish and think just of myself.

I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone

I can be patient and kind with those who may not understand
Or battle and hurt them as much as I can.

But I have faith in the Lord;  and believe when I say;
I personally intend to make the best of each day.
