Remember today that you are alive.

Sometimes we tend to forget.
You have a purpose that is all your own.

No one else is you.
You have dreams and hopes and desires.

Listen to your heart for a while.
Remember today all the blessings you have.

There's beauty in every direction you look.
Enjoy the abundance that is already yours.

The world is a wonderful place and you're here.
Remember today that you get what you give.

Your world is a mirror of your inner self.
Love will be yours when you give it away.

Remember today that life is creation.
As long as you live you can always contribute your own special voice.

Remember today is a special time.
Make the best of it while you can.

We shall do much in the years to come,

but what have we done today?

We shall give our gold in a princely sum,

but what did we give today?

We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,

We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,

We shall speak the words of love and cheer

but what did we speak today?

We shall be so kind in the afterwhile,

but what have we been today?

We shall bring each lonely life a smile,

but what have we brought today?

We shall give to truth a grander birth,

And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,

We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,

but whom have we fed today?

We shall reap such joys in the by and by,

but what have we sown today?

We shall build us mansions in the sky,

but what have we built today?

'Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask,

but here and now do we do our task?

Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,

"What have we done today?"
