Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires, I will take my "luck" as it comes, and fit myself to it.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I won't find fault with anything, nor try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me

Judge Not
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As i entered Heaven's door
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor
But it was the Folks in Heaven
who made me spatter and gasp-
The Thieves, the liars, the sinners
the alcoholics and the trash
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice
Next to him was my old Neighbor
who never said anything nice
Herb, who i always thought
was rotting in hell
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?'
I would love to hear your take
How'd all this sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake
'And why is everyone so quiet?
So somber - give me a clue
'Hush, child, 'He said, 'they're all in shock
no one thought they'd be seeing you.

you rise like a vision.
My own dear landmark
With its green hills by the sea
You rise like a vision sparkling bright
In natures glee
With each sunset a beautiful smile
Of yet another rise of love
With your little calm waves
Seen from the green hills by your side
Speaking volumes, you natures gift
Peace in my heart, your love I’m assured.
