Rise

Every morning’s light

Offers opportunity

To leave dark behind

And live a brighter today

In love’s appreciation

Get Going

Celebrate this day

As though it has never been

For it never has

And give your joy the power

To rain down like a shower

Prophet

Thoughts seeking freedom

Nuggets of wisdom within

Share the little gems

Release the remarkable

Energy eager souls chase

Shining Example

Sweet, Merry Wipe-Day

Born to be at your service

Lives up to her name

Smiling, she cleans the castle

Even leaves the floors gleaming
