Each morning, the daylily opens its golden blooms
And welcomes the world into its heart
Reaching for the sky to embrace the day
A few hours to shine before it withers and falls apart
But as short and fleeting as its life appears
The daylily does not waste its time regretting its fate
Instead, it shares its elegance eagerly with the world
Knowing that as the sun rises, its beauty we await
Why can’t we approach life the same way?
Greeting each day as a celebration
Knowing that we have today to shine
Offering love and compassion without hesitation
The daylily offers a wonderful lesson
About time well spent; no minute cast aside
We can take on our dreams and give others hope
And tomorrow their beauty will not be denied
