WHILE IT IS DAY

                                                
                                                         WHILE IT IS DAY

                                                While it is day, let us...
                                                Relieve ourselves of all bitterness.
                                                Become a vessel filled with love
                                                Learn the importance of eternal truths.
                                                Acquire the art of affirmation.
                                                Realize the power in pondering and prayer.
                                                Love ourselves so that we may love others. 
                                                Vocally tell our family that we love them.
                                                Lay down the sword of malice.
                                                Pick up the shield of faith.
                                                Enjoy the simple rhythms of nature.
                                                Make of our lives a psalm.
                                                While it is day let us bask in the sun.
