An unidentified writer points out how different moods affect our minds:
When I am tired and weary,
And nothing goes my way.
I thank the heavenly Father
For two nights to every day.
But when, once more, I’m rested,
And all the world looks bright,
I thank Him that He sends me
Two days to every night!
There’s the pause before the battle,
There’s the respite from the fray;
And that is how I reckon
Two nights to every day.
When the sunset glow has faded,
In a little while ’tis light!
And that is how I reckon
Two days to every night.
And so ’tis due, believe me,
To the way we look at things,
Whether we sigh and falter
Or whether we soar on wings!
