Each morn, as I get out of bed,
These thoughts keep running through my head:
"Another day to do my work,
To do it well and not to shirk;
"Another day to laugh and sing
That joy to others I may bring;
Another day of hopes and fears,
Of happy hours—perhaps, some tears!"
And when, at night, I go to bed,
I'm always hoping I have shed
Some sunshine, as I lived the day,
To help another on his way.
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "Another Day" (1940s)
