Today, if I
wake up, I will take a deep breath.
I will shake
off yesterday’s vice, stare at the rising sun and blink twice.
Today I will
touch my toes and drink some water.
I will sing
a rhyme, hum a tune and smile one extra time.
Today I will
read, write and learn something new.
I will seek the
light, keep my promise and fight the good fight.
Today I will
live with purpose and action.
I will
survive a trial, give thanks and go the extra mile.
Today I will
have faith, hope and love.
I will step
out of the fray, find quiet and live day by day.
Today I will
look you in the eye.
I will search
for the path that is straight, for what is real and for what is right.
Today I will
remember my inner child.
I will ditch
the frown, jump up, jump up, and get down.
Today I will
try my best.
I will fall,
get helped up, and stand tall.
Today I will
give someone a hug.
I will shake
hands with a firm grip, do good work and revel in friendship.
Today I will
remember from where I come.
I will remember
to whom I belong, whom I trust and who is strong.
Today I will
love. I’ll take the dive.
Today, I
will come alive.
