Enter The Day Poem by Dwayne Banks

Awaking in the morning is a glorious feeling
knowing the night before you were kneeling
By your bed, a soulful prayer came about
knowing in your heart, the Lord has the clout
Clout to sustain your minds' good thoughts
giving all around, wants are for nots
Enter the day with good in your heart
hoping and praying that you'll do your part
Your part in society with no sinful disdain
smile when you can, no frownful pain
Walk with your head level to the ground
knowing that your soul is heaven bound
Do the best you can in this journey called life
thinking of the good, forgetting of the strife
Not all days will be the best they can
just know in your heart, you are a simple man
One who wants whats' best all around
hoping all stays well on this solid ground
The Lord has made and given us wealth
also he has given us our mindful health
So, when you awake and any bad thoughts arise
go ahead, kneel again, pray to the skies
