Making The Best Of Each Day

Outside my window, a new day I see

And only I can determine what kind of a day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,

Or boring and cold, unhappy and grey.

My own state of mind is the determining key,

For I am the only 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 with those who may not understand,

Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

But I have faith in myself, and believe what I say,

And personally intent to make the best of each day.
