The sun is up shining golden bright
With rays streaming across the face of the Earth
Giving a new day birth
With golden opportunities in sight.

Be open to what lies ahead
Seeking direction to be led
Toward opportunities waiting there for you
Excited for great or simple things to do.

Opportunities to realize a dream
For yourself or another
Makes no difference to you
But all the difference it can make
The action you take.

Golden opportunities to share love today
To those you meet along the way.
Anyone downtrodden by burdens they bear
Helping to lift their heavy load
Along life's road
Because of love you take time to share.

Many around you feel lonely and alone
With none seeming to care
But your smile and gentle touch
Can mean so very much
So seek opportunities you see
Their friend to be.

Talents God gives
Each and every one
So, remembering to whom much is given
Much is required,
Seek opportunities to use talents given you
Blessing others by all you do.

With the rising of the golden sun
Until the closing of the day
Find opportunities waiting you
To make a difference to someone
Through what you say and do
Along the way before this day is done.
