I will greet this day with love in my heart

Henceforth I will look upon all things with love
and I will be born again.

I will love the sun for it warms my bones;
yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.

I will love the light for it shows me the way;
yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.

I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart;
yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul.

I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due;
yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.
