Put It Right

The sun does rise each morning,
And bathes the Earth with rays.
So soon again it's daylight,
As darkness fades away.

The long dark night has ended,
Another day been born.
The beauty of the sunrise,
Seen every day at dawn.

Awaken from your sleep at once,
Enjoy the beauty of the sky.
For no grander sight will be all day,
Upon which to set your eyes.

If you see the dawn my friend,
And prepare yourself to face.
Another day upon this Earth,
Then do so with much grace.

So as begins a new day,
The dark you did survive.
Take your time to offer thanks,
That you are still alive.

Take time to just enjoy it,
The sun's warmth and the light.
Before the sun does disappear,
And once again it's night.

Another day will surely end,
The sun will go to rest.
Out on the far horizon,
As it sets into the West.

For when the sun does set again,
And slowly the night arrives.
Ensure that you are at peace,
With those who still survive.

Remember that as the sun sets,
And daylight turns to night.
If you have had cause to differ,
Be sure to put it right.

For if you retire angry,
And your life does fade away.
Too late to ask forgiveness,
When sun shows again its rays.
