LIFE AS A COIN
Dawn is breaking the night is ending
I hear the drizzle on the house top,
Rising, I give thanks for yet another day
How will I spend my coin today?
 
Whatever I do with this new day gift
It will only pass this way, but once
Words and deeds I will pay with this coin
When night falls, they will be gone
 
For the hurt I may cause
I cannot recall it,
For the kindness I will share
It will be forever revered
 
Lord, help me to spend this coin
In all that I do and in all that I say,
So when my day is through
It would have been decreed by you!
