WHILE IT IS DAY

                                                
​                                                                    WHILE IT IS DAY

                                                While it is day, let us...
                                                Release ourselves from 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 holy psalm
                                                While it is day let us bask in the sun
