Outside of my window a new day i see,
Only I can determine what kind it will be
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or biring and cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be selfish, and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
Or be a little hurt with the wave of my hand,
With faith and hope I'll keep on my way,
To strive and make the very best of each day.
