This day demands
  I credit the sun
       With being
  the first to rise;
 For warming the dew
       my bare feet adore
 and presenting
 the world to my eyes.
      This day demands
 I share a kind word
      with someone
      I’ve just met.
 A simple form
      of compassion
   Today…..
  the hardest to get.
     This day demands
  I embrace her hours
       spent in gladness
  or sorrow.
    Her final request
  I take time to pray
       for todays’ repeat
   tomorrow.
