In these few moments now, Before my eyes can no longer stay open, Heavy with sleep, I see me. I see that I have had my moments today. When I could, I gave of myself. When I could, I listened to someone who needed to be heard. When I could, My eyes met a stranger's with a smile. I've had my moments today. Some where I've asked another, How can I help? Others where I wished someone had done the same for me. This day is done. I can do no more. It lives in the past, Where now I can change nothing. Tomorrow is a brand new day. And as I wait for sleep, I wonder, How do I choose now how I want to experience it? Moment by moment, With an open heart? Or moment by moment, Grounded only in fear, Anger, And lack, Disconnected from my world? Tomorrow is a brand new day. And as I let my mind and body rest now, I choose to make it another day to be mindful, To better know myself, And to be a blessing to everyone I meet. And so, Knowing my greatest good, This day is done.
