Every one in the world should read this every morning of their life

The morn awakes, and wide extends her rays,
On ev'ry leaf the gentle zephyr plays;
Harmonious lays the feather'd race resume,
Dart the bright eye, and shake the painted plume.
Ye shady groves, your verdant gloom display
To shield your poet from the burning day:
Calliope awake the sacred lyre,
While thy fair sisters fan the pleasing fire:
The bow'rs, the gales, the variegated skies
In all their pleasures in my bosom rise.
See in the east th' illustrious king of day!
His rising radiance drives the shades away--

from "An Hymn To The Morning"
by Phillis Wheatley

Phillis Wheatley (1753 - 1784) was the first published African-American woman. Born in Senegambia, she was sold into slavery at the age of 7 and transported to North America. She served her master and wrote in Boston, Massachusetts, the birthplace of American liberty.
