Salutations to the Dawn - sent by Mom to all the children
Listen to the exhortation of the dawn!
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities & realities of your existence:
the bliss of growth, the glory of action,
the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream &
Tomorrow is only a vision,
but today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
& every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.
