Today

Outside my window, a new day I see
        and only I can determine
                  what kind of 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 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 with those who may not understand
                        or be little and hurt as much as I can

             But I have faith in myself, and believe what I say
   and I personally intend to make the best of each day
