Look Well to This Day

**Look well to this day,
For it and it alone is life.
In its brief course
Lie all the essence of your existence:

****The Glory of Growth
The Satisfaction of Achievement
The Splendor of Beauty

****For yesterday is but a dream,
**And tomorrow is but a vision.
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
