from my coven's salutation of dawn:

Look, then to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief span lie all the verities and realities of our existence:
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream;
And Tomorrow is but a Vision.
But Today well lived makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this Day.
