It’s morning -- again.
I couldn’t be happier.
The birds are harvesting moths.
Moths gathered around the night light
Young birds are learning.
Next, they will visit the feeder.
It’s morning -- again.
I couldn’t be happier.
Black coffee starts every day.
The steam, the aroma, the flavour.
Familiar, but different every morning.
This day is my day! It's morning -- again.
I couldn’t be happier.
How will I use it? What will I make of this day?
What will make this day different, memorable?
Words flow; warm sensations surround me.
It’s the day I must make.
It’s morning again,
And I couldn’t be happier!
How many more days do I have?
Not many – even if I live to be a hundred.
Not many, so use them well!
I sense my surroundings.
I taste my world.
Touch the cloth, feel the surface.
Enjoy, explore, engage. I control my day.
It’s Morning again.
And I could not be happier!
