• Lift up your eyes upon
  This day breaking for you.
  Give birth again
  To the dream.
  Women, children, men,
  Take it into the palms of your hands.
  Mold it into the shape of your most
  Private need. Sculpt it into
  The image of your most public self.
  Lift up your hearts
  Each new hour holds new chances
  For a new beginning.

  Maya Angelou
