A new day

This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use as I will.

I can waste it, or use it.
I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy,
its beauty and its achievements.
Or it can be filled with pettiness.
What I do today is important
because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever
but I shall hold something which I have traded for it.

It may be no more than a memory,
but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price.
I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil, success not failure.
