INVOCATION OF THE DAWN by KALIDASA

First Line: LOOK TO THIS DAY!
Last Line: LOOK WELL, THEREFORE, TO THIS DAY!
Subject(s): DAWN; DEATH; LIFE CHANGE EVENTS; SUNRISE; DEAD, THE;
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth;
The glory of action;
The splendor of achievement;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
@3Look well, therefore, to this day!@1
