Afternoon on a Hill

(Edna St. Vincent Millay)

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

And when the lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down.

Any Day Now
Carpe diem (Seize the Day)
A day not wasted is a day wasted!
Days of Our Lives
Eight Days a Week
Here Comes the Sun
I Don't Do Mornings
I Will Wake Up Happy
I'll Rise But I Refuse to Shine
I'll Rise But I Won't Shine
I'm Still Sleepy
The Glory of Daybreak

Lazy Day
Mama said there'd be days like this
The Morning After
A New Day Is Dawning
New World in the Morning
Seize the Day
Sunrise Serenade
This is the Day the Lord has made
Till the Morning Light
Watching the Sunrise
What a Difference a Day Makes
Yesterday Once More
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Quotes

A Day Without Sunshine Is Like Night.
Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. (Charles Richards)
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because if you like it today you can do it again tomorrow. (from The Drifters by James A. Michener)
Each day is a precious gift. Take the time to unwrap every one.
Everyday of you life is a page of your history.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
It's comforting to know that whatever happens tomorrow will have absolutely no effect on today.
Let not the mistakes of yesterday - nor the fears of tomorrow - spoil our today.
Live each day in a way that will make you feel good about yourself tomorrow.
Today is the last day of the first part of your life (John Hovancin)
What can you expect of a day that starts with getting up in the morning.

Today

Today is mine. It is unique.
Nobody in the world has one exactly like it.
It holds the sum of all my past experiences and all my future potentials.
I can fill it with joyous moments or ruin it with fruitless worry.
If painful recollections of the past come into my mind,
or frightening thoughts of the future, I can put them away.
They cannot spoil today for me.

The Gift of Day

Every day's a perfect gift
Of time for us to use.
Hours waiting to be filled
in any way we choose.
Each morning brings
a quiet hope
That rises with the sun.
Each evening brings
the sweet content
that comes with work well done.

Leaves

(Gamaliel Bradford - from Shadow Verses)

Down come the leaves,
Like fleeting years,
Or idle tears
Of love that grieves.

A tinkling trill,
A pallid flight
Like brief delight -
And all is still.

Today

Yesterday is just a memory.
Tomorrow we may never see.
There's beauty all around us,
life can be so pleasant.
Today is like a gift
That's why it's called the present.

Today is a Gift

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That's why it's called the present.

Monday's Child

Monday's child is fair of face;
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is on the go;
Thursday's child is a joy to know.
Friday's child is loving and giving;
Saturday's child takes joy in living;
but the child that is born on the Sabbath day
is merry and blithe and bright and gay.

Monday's Child - original version

Monday's child is fair of face;
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe;
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving;
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
but the child that is born on the Sabbath day
is fair and wise and good and gay.

The poem was was altered to be more positive. I see why they changed Wednesday and Saturday but I don't understand about Thursday. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to "have far to go".

Thursday's Child

Use the wavy borderline to draw 3 lines all the way around the pages (the two outside lines are solid and center one is dashed so that it looks like a road). You may need to adjust things a little so the corners line up. Arrange various stickers from the vehicle stickers along the road. Use the title "Thursday's child has far to go". (Dona C. CMC)

Quotes

I know the night is not the same as the day; that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. (Vincent Van Gogh)
I'm not afraid of the dark, it's the things in the dark I'm afraid of
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them. (Seneca)
Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep. (Catherine O'Hara)

Night

(Mary Ann Hoberman)

The night is coming softly, slowly;
Look, it's getting hard to see.
Through the windows,
Through the door,
Pussyfooting
On the floor,
Dragging shadows,
Crawling,
Creeping,
Soon it will be time for sleeping.
Pull down the shades.
Turn on the light.
Let's pretend it isn't night.

The Night Will Never Stay

(Eleanor Farjeon)

The night will never stay,
The night will still go by,
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky;
Though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon,
The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune.
