Look Well
Look Well
Look well of today - for it is the life of life.
In
its brief course lie all the variations and realities of your life
- the
bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendour of beauty.
For
yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a dream of hope.
For
time is but a scene in the eternal drama.
So look well of today and let that
be your resolution as you wake each morning and salute the new dawn.
Each
day is born by the recurring miracle of dawn,
and each night reveals the
celestial harmony of the stars.
Seek
not death in error of your life,
and pull not upon yourself destruction by
the work of your hands.
- Mike's Credo
