Every day
When we wake up
We can choose
How we will face the day
Every minute
Throughout the day
We can choose
How to experience the day
Lord help me
To choose calm
When exploding
Is how I am wired to react
To think more
Strategically
When diving in
Is my first response
To pause
When the gauntlet
Is thrown down
And let it lay where if falls
