Analysis of Another Day For Living



Another day for dreaming
Another day to pine
Another day for gleaming
Another day to shine

Another day for choosing
Another day to cope
Another day for musing
Another day to hope

Another day for building
Another day to craft
Another day for gilding
Another day to draft

Another day for praying
Another day to seek
Another day for playing
Another day to peak

Another day for smiling
Another day to warm
Another day for styling
Another day to form

Another day for living
Another day to share
Another day for giving
Another day to care
