Today Is Mine

When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise And as its beauty struck the darkness from the sky I thought how small and unimportant all my troubles seem to be And how lucky another day belongs to me And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day All its silent beauties seemed to say So what my friend if all your dreams you have and realized Just look around you you got a whole new day to try Today is mine today is mine to do with what I will Today is mine my own special cup to fill To die a little that I might learn to live to take from life that I might learn to give Today is mine Like most men I cursed the present to avoid the peace of mind And raise my thoughts beyond tomorrow and vision there more peace of mind But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been For today's the only garden we can tend Today is mine...
