Today

This is the beginning
of a New Day.
God has given me this day
to use as I will.
I can waste it
or grow in its light
and be of service to others.
But what I do
with this day is important
because I have exchanged
a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes,
today will be gone forever.
I hope I will not regret
the price I paid for it.
