It Matters...

What thoughts come:
just another day?
a repeat of the day before?
or a welcome adventure?

What sentiments arise:
renewed?
riled?
grateful for a new day?

What actions are carried out:
robotic ceremonies?
fresh strides?
attentive moves?

Yes, it matters
how one gets up
each day in the morn...

a peaceful mind
a joyful heart
a body nourished-

In grateful chorus
to greet life from
within and without.
