Shake Hands With Midnight

Greet the morning with gracious spirit,
For each moment dawns even if you deceive it.
Say thanks to noon with pleasant temperament,
The hours have turned by even if not well spent.
Smile at dusk with an open wonder,
Life passes by even if body and mind are asunder.
Shake hands with midnight with wise revelation,
Now, become an adult through a life of maturation.
