Rise the Dawn

Rise with the dawn  
Allow your wishes  
to create today's reality.
Avoid harsh attitudes  
and rough edges
Instead seek to attain  
a tender heart  
and sound mind  
 
Leave behind yesterday's  
troubles, like the little bird  
who takes flight without  
the weight of offense  
Or the worry of what  
will sustain him  
 
Acknowledge that you  
are a unique soul,  
independent yet tied  
to the universe  
A link in the chain  
for the progress  
of humanity
 
See  beauty in the smallest  
of things, the light as it  
reflects off dust particles  
or the movement  
of a lacewing and the sound  
of quiet solitude  
 
You are loved, therefore  
Give love,
Make each day  count  
In everyway
