The morning is fresh, the sunrise is new, go out and seize the day,

Yesterday left, tomorrow isn’t yet, and the here and now won’t stay.

Live each moment, savor each memory, be present in your life,

Time is short, opportunities abundant, no need for worries or strife.

Call a friend, walk a dog, give a hug, and breathe deep.

Relish the air in your lungs, the sounds in life, and the friendships that you keep.

May the lines on your face be from laughter not contention,

Nor from worry and strife or anger and dissension.

Let the legacy you leave be of harmony and grace,

Chase joy and fellowship as if running a race.

Our time is limited, it passes in an instant, there are only so many tomorrows,

Let your name bring smiles, contentment, and warmth that pushes away the sorrow.
