Look well to this day

Look well to this day
for it is life
The very best of life
In its brief course lie all
The realities and trusts of existence
The joy of growth
The spendour of action
The glory of power
For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today if well-lived makes
Every yesterday a memory of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore to this day.
