The day
do we notice?
(sometimes we look away).

The day
listen, oh listen to
what it has to say.

The day
how does it compare
with yesterday?

The day
would you want it
to longer stay?

The day
to love and adore
is to pray.

The day
are we missing
the splendour on the way?

The day
it invites
come, dance and play.

The day
while the sun shines
make hay.

The day
work well
not just for the pay.

The day
bring in the sunshine
if the sky is grey.

The day
is for edifying
not for fray.

The day
hold yourself high
let showers of hope freely spray.

The day
open your heart's window
it's no time for dismay.

The day
the meadow is beckoning
don't delay.

The day
look, look
the darling buds of May.*

The day
nature her proudest gowns
gladly does display.

The day
let its message of hope
to everyone convey.

The day
its opportunities
let's survey.

The day
dusk is not yet
don't say 'Nay'.

The day
it's mine
how could I walk away?
