Better Things To Do

I wake from my slumber and start my day,
Setting all the past away,
Starting over just a bit, as we all do each week,
This time, a year, a decade peaks,
Fast approaching, born anew,
A fresh beginning as with I, you
May this morning breath be calm and clean,
As the air around you, so pristine,
A beautiful day, as with all others,
A day to be kind to your sisters and brothers,
Be awake and make it something,
Being there, it counts for everything,
Be where you are, wherever that is,
Look ahead, not where the past is,
For all you have is where you stand,
Live each moment, make it grand,
Look ahead and take my hand,
This is an offer, no demand,
We'll go beyond, I know we can
