The Day Has Begun
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning to you, the new day has begun,
May the sun shine on your face with joy and fun.
Now leave all your worries from yesterday behind,
Embrace this new start and watch what you can find.
May today be full of things that make you smile,
Stand tall, breathe deep and savor this moment for a while.

Bringing hope for a new day both beautiful and bright! -
Time To Start The Day
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2014
It's time to start your day,
Wake up and get on the move.
Sleeping in is nice,
But you've got lots to prove.
You'll prove to yourself,
That anything is in your grip.
All it takes is hard work,
With yourself as the whip.
Anything you want to do,
Understand it can be done.
As long as you stop wasting,
The day that has just begun.
So wake up and rise and shine,
This day is just for you.
I can't wait to see,
What it is that you will do! -
A Fresh Start
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning, the day awaits
A fresh start, no more delays
Through fresh air and morning dew
Grab your cup of steaming brew!
Up early, one step ahead
Enthusiasm ringing in your head
No telling what you can do
When you greet the new day with a positive view.
Dreams will never come true
If left to linger in bed's queu'
Nothing can stop you today
If you get up and get at it - hooray! -
Today Is Here
Poet: T. N. Hanson
Live life today as though today were all.
Our yesterdays are days beyond recall.
Rest not upon the victories you have won -
Your yesterday was ended with the sun.
If you have failed, surrender not to fear -
Tomorrow has not come; today is here. -
What A Great Day
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning to you, what a great day,
Let us rejoice and smile away!
The birds are singing sweetly in the trees
And the weather is great, with only a soft breeze.
We never know what joy will bring,
But optimism our hearts can sing
Forget the past and yesterday's strife,
Energize yourself, this day of your life.
Think of all that lies ahead,
Make the most of it time you've been fed
Choose to find the positive way,
Good morning, have an amazing day! -
Now Is The Time
Poet: Unknown
Pluck sweet flowers while you may,
At eventide or dewy 'morn,
Surely there will come a day
When you must pluck the thorn.
Do kindly acts at time of need,
Ere the chance be gone;
Thus you will plant the seed
Of deeds now unknown. -
Daybreak
Poet: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A wind came up out of the sea,
And said, "O mists, make room for me."
It hailed the ships, and cried, "Sail on,
Ye mariners, the night is gone."
And hurried landward far away,
Crying, "Awake! it is the day."
It said unto the forest, "Shout!
Hang all your leafy banners out!"
It touched the wood bird's folded wing,
And said, "O bird, awake and sing"
And o'er the farms, "O chanticleer,
Your clarion blow; the day is near."
It whispered to the fields of corn,
"Bow down, and hail the coming morn."
It shouted through the belfry tower,
"Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour."
It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, "Not yet! in quiet lie." -
Rise and Shine
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Rise and shine, it’s time to cheer,
Don’t let the snooze button bring you near,
The coffee’s brewing, the toast is done,
Let’s start the day with some morning fun!
The alarm may ring and try to scare,
But it’s just a sign that you should be there,
So stretch your arms and give a shout,
Good morning to you—let’s laugh it out! -
Roses Are Red
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Wake up sleepy head,
Good morning to you!
A new day awaits you
Don't waste your day
Open those eyes
A good morning, I say! -
Good Morning
Poet: Eleanor Farjeon
Good morning, nurse, good morning, cook,
Good morning, all of you;
Good morning to my picture-book,
And to my window-view.
Good morning, nurse, good morning, cook,
Good morning, all of you;
Good morning to my picture-book,
And to my window-view.
Good morning to the bird out there
That cannot sing enough,
And to the carpet which my bare
Feet press on, soft and rough.
Good morning to the breakfast smell
That rises from below,
And to the breakfast sound as well
That clatters to and fro.
Good morning, Towzer!
Come, let's run,
Jump, shout, and laugh and sing
Good morning to you, every one!
Good morning, everything! -
Good Morning My Love
Poet: Samatha Lynch, ©2019
Every day with you means so much
I love you and your touch
Your loving ways I do adore
Your kindness makes my heart soar.
When I wake up and see you there
I feel like I can do anything I dare
You light up my life more than you can imagine
I jump out of bed and spring into action.
Good morning my love
I thank the good Lord above
For the blessing of life with you
Have a great morning in all that you do. -
Morning Gifts
Poet: Unknown
The kiss that you gave me this morning,
It has clung to my lips all day!
A jewel of love's fair adorning,
To treasure while you are away;
A gem far more precious than rubies,
As pure as a heart of the sea;
In my heart's hidden casket I place it,
With the joy it has given to me.
The look that you gave me this morning,
I have seen it today everywhere,
With its loving glow cheering and warming
The gloom and the chill in the air!
The shadows have been but as sunbeams,
Life has seemed all so joyous and free,
For the tender love-light in the dear eyes
You gave in the morning to me.
The words that you gave me this morning,
They have echoed for me all day long!
The flowers seemed more sweetly adorning,
And the birds had a merrier song.
Ah, the long hours have been, oh, so happy!
So glad all the toil of today!
For the kiss and the look and the sweet words
You gave me at going away. -
A Gift
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning, a gift from up above,
A day bestowed with abundant love.
Don't let it pass, seize the chance today,
To spread God's love in every way.
Embrace each moment with joy and cheer,
For His blessings are always near.
Open your heart, let kindness flow,
Inseparable from Him, wherever you go. -
God Bless
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning, let sunshine fill your heart
As you rise from sleep, and with it a fresh new start.
May God bless each movement of your day
With goodness and love in every way.
May you have peace of mind, joy in your heart
And blessings like no other can impart. -
A Morning Greeting
Poet: Kate Summers, ©2020
Good Morning, God bless,
May your day be filled with happiness.
May troubles be less and blessings be more
May sunshine greet you as you walk out the door.
May you give the day your best
And if I may suggest
Keep smiling and singing
A happy life you'll be living.
So as you greet this morning
And as you pick your clothing
Focus on the positive and you will find
The morning you will not mind. -
True Gladness
Poet: Marianne Farningham
Be glad when the flowers have faded?
Be glad when the trees are bare?
When the fog lies thick on the field and moors,
And the frost is in the air?
When all around is a desert,
And the clouds obscure the light?
When there are no songs for the darkest days,
No stars for the longest night?
Ah, yes, for the truest gladness
Is not in ease or mirth;
It has its home in the heart of God,
Not in the loves of the earth.
God's love is the same forever,
If the skies are bright or dim,
And the joy of the morning lasts all day
When the heart is glad with him. -
Friends Of Mine
Poet: James W. Foley
Good-morning, Brother Sunshine,
Good-morning, Sister Song,
I beg your humble pardon
If you've waited very long.
I thought I heard you rapping,
To shut you out were sin,
My heart is standing open,
Won't you walk right in?
Good-morning, Brother Gladness,
Good-morning, Sister Smile,
They told me you were coming,
So I waited on a while.
I'm lonesome here without you,
A weary while it's been,
My heart is standing open,
Won't you walk right in?
Good-morning, Brother Kindness,
Good-morning, Sister Cheer,
I heard you were out calling,
So I waited for you here.
Some way, I keep forgetting
I have to toil or spin
When you are my companions,
Won't you walk right in? -
Awake!
Poet: Althea Randolph
Awake! 'Tis time for you to rise!
Awake! And open both your eyes!
The day is here, the sky is blue,
And all the World is calling you! -
The Sun's Good-Night And Good-Morning!
Poet: Althea Randolph
The Sun says good-night to you,
Good-night to you,
Good-night to you,
The Sun says good-night to you,
At the close of day!
The Sun throws a kiss to you,
A kiss to you,
A kiss to you.
The Sun throws a kiss to you.
As he goes away!
The Sun stays away all night.
Away all night,
Away all night.
The Sun stays away all night.
And sleeps the whole night through!
The Sun awakes when it is light,
When it is light.
When it is light.
The Sun awakes when it is light.
And says good-day to you! -
Only
Poet: Unknown
It was only a blossom,
Just the merest bit of bloom,
But it brought a glimpse of summer
To the little darkened room.
It was only a glad "good morning,"
As she passed along the way;
But it spread the morning's glory
Over the livelong day.
Only a song; but the music,
Though simply pure and sweet.
Brought back to better pathways
The reckless roving feet.
"Only," in our blind wisdom,
How dare we say at all?
Since the ages alone can tell us
Which is the great or small. -
A Good One
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
A good morning to you
It's a morning that's new.
My wish is for good things
That the entire day could bring.
A morning full of sunshine
A morning of all things fine
That is my wish for you
On this morning that is brand new.
A good day is in store for you
A good day of happiness nothing blue
That is my wish for you
A good day in all you do.
And when the evening is upon us
May you see it as a plus
As you look back on this day
And see it was a good one in every way. -
A Grand Morning
Poet: Kate Summers
Good morning to you this day
A grand morning I must say.
May this morning bring to you
Happiness in all you do
Achieve a lot, don't be undersold
Believe you are worth your weight in gold.
I wish you a great day in every way
Because you deserve the best today.
Let the sunshine radiate within
Don't let others create your spin
Believe only the best,
And you will find lots of happiness. -
A New Day
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2019
A new day to do
The things you want to.
Get out of bed
You sleepy head.
The day is just beginning
A day for truly living
As none of us is guaranteed
Tomorrow we will see.
So live this day
Don't waste it I say.
You've been given the hours
Take time to smell the flowers. -
A Good Morning To You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2019
A good morning to you
Be the best at what you do.
Get up and give thanks
You get to fill in the blanks.
Today is a gift given to you
Do not spend it being blue.
You see, the world reflects
The attitude you project.
Stay positive and upbeat
The day is yours to complete. -
It Was Only...
Poet: Carlotta Perry
It was only a glad "Good Morning"
As she passed along the way;
But it spread the morning's glory
Over the livelong day. -
May Your Day Be Full
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Good morning to you, may your day be full
May sunshine throughout your day rule.
May any rain that falls be short-lived
May dreary weather not hold you captive.
As the day is what you make it
Be positive and happy, don't quit! -
Wonderful Things
Poet Unknown
Hope the sky's as blue
As a bluebird's wings,
And your day is just filled
With wonderful things! -
Good Morning To You
Poet Unknown
Good morning to you, with sunshine and cheer,
May your day be bright, your heart full of cheer,
May smiles greet you and joy light your way,
Wishing you a wonderful, blissful day!
