Reflection: Salutation to the Dawn

Salutation to the Dawn

 

Look to this day!

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course

lie all the truths and realities of our existence:

The bliss of growth,

The glory of action,

The splendour of achievement,

For yesterday is but a dream

And tomorrow is only a vision,

But today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day!

Such is our greeting to the dawn.
