Of each of seven days I live each week,
I must admit I love the Monday best
because it offers me a chance to tweak
my schedules after lazy weekend rest.
Consider all the faults and all the fears
that marked those precious misplaced days now gone
and don’t waste time on pointless grieving tears
when Monday gives anew a chance for song.
It is the sunrise of my seven days,
and brings a brightness full of life and hope
which fills my heart and mind in special ways
with strength so I’ll not fear to strive and cope.
When I awaken every Monday morn,
I feel that I have surely been reborn.
