Today, making big plans
Looking out, far ahead
Life’s landscape, calling out
Past now ready to shed
Yesterday, forgotten
Latching on to new tune
Positive, fresh outlook
Below night’s risen moon
Freedom filling each dream
Nourishing assurance
Confidence springs forward
Life’s steady insurance
Eager to keep moving
Opening novel’s page
Business taken care of
Wisdom heard from old sage
Timetable’s steady hand
Taking shortcut’s byway
No working overtime
Down tomorrow’s highway
Heart’s deepest desire
Overcoming once again—
Triumph shall arrive
Facing challenges
Courage filled with inner fire—
Crossing finish line
Tested by darkness
Searching for light’s renewing strength—
Positive embraced
There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone . . . that’s how the light of God gets in.

New day saying “hello”
Revitalizing voices
Inspirations aglow
Identifying choices
Horizon brightens, stirs
Reawakening today
Morning opens sunrise
Illuminating gateway
Daylight’s rhythmic tempo
Internalizing soundtrack
Soul’s eternal rainbow
Anticipating comeback
Sunset’s fading skyline
Evaporating outlook
Night’s taste of moonshine
Rejuvenating guidebook
Clock’s movements quietly advance
Calendar pages keep turning
Realizing now, time so precious
Yesterday, never returning
Today, now galloping away
Each moment quickly discarded
Vanishing minutes tearing up
Uncertain time left unguarded
Tomorrow arrives much too soon
Yesterday feeling incomplete
Searching for one more treasured hour
Empty time becomes bittersweet
Distant dreams fill with missing days
Harmony’s peacefulness arrives
Pursuing extra, precious time
Delights harvested from archives
Morning sunrise gathers on time
Eagerness to explore today
Looking forward, cherished outlook
Every moment planning to stay
