Daily Gift
Each day of each year is special,
Each is a blessing from our lord.
When kindness reigns all is well,
Love of each other is the tone.
Cheerful joy is spread to all folks,
No matter religion, creed or color.
Each day we hold to be sacred,
Goodness needs no special occasion.
Good deeds need not be surprising,
But should be the norm in all we do.
To all we meet friendship freely given,
Standing together against all social evils.
Each day held up as a wondrous gift,
Birds chirping messages of divinity.
Selfish tendencies to be abandoned,
We cherish each moment, each breath.
Forward progress to civic responsibility,
Responsible for our poor and destitute.
Each day is our renewed pact with God,
His promise of protection in the sun.
New rays to wash away the past hurts,
Each person bathed in absolving rays.
Know then that the time is close,
When our Judge will ask, 'Who loved pure? '
