Before I rise to day I say
How wonderful and great will be
And summon all my higher self
To share the day and all I see

I look for kindness and a smile
I see each day as time to give
And though some doubt might stay a while
Within me something good does live

I call my dreams to come and play
I hold the visions of my need
And somehow now throughout each day
The positives begin to breed

And more and more I find my place
Though sometimes there is need for tears
I harness will, refuse to break
And look toward the coming years

For there I know my time will come
Where everything will go my way
While sharing what my heart does feel
I seem to cope and love each day

"I call my dreams to come and play
I hold the visions of my need"

Me too but it gets harder and harder to do as time goes on.  I did, however, enjoy the nudge your words have given to maintain steadfast in obedience to the "higher self" who may or may not have my present best interests at heart - can see the bigger picture no doubt.

I think one of the beauties of your writing is that you do just that. You share your heart with all of us.

'I see each day as time to give'

... with that outlook ... you would definitely shed a light on someone else's day~
