Italian renaissance garden

The Italian renaissance gardens at the Hamilton gardens. Beautiful, breathtaking, inspirational.

I look out my window, 

a new day I see,

and only I can determine 

what kind of a day it will be

 It can be busy and sunny, 

laughing and gay,

or boring and cold, 

unhappy and grey.

My own state of mind 
is the determining key,
for I am only the person 
I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful, 
and do what I can to help,
or I can 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 belittle and hurt them 

as much as I can.

But I have faith in myself,

and believe what I say,

and I personally intend 

to make the best of Today. 

Today
