THE BEST DAY.

By Priscilla Leonard

Some skies may be gloomy, some moments be sad, But everywhere, always, some souls must be glad; For true is the saying proclaimed by the seer— “Each day is the best day of somebody’s year!”

Each day finds a hero, each day helps a saint, Each day brings to some one a joy without taint; Tho it may not be my turn or yours that is near, “Each day is the best day of somebody’s year!”

The calendar sparkles with days that have brought Some prize that was hoped for, some good that was sought; High deeds happen daily, wide truths grow more clear— “Each day is the best day of somebody’s year!”

No sun ever rises, but brings joy behind; No sorrow in fetters the whole earth can bind; How selfish our fretting, how narrow our fear— “Each day is the best day of somebody’s year!” —Priscilla Leonard.
