Awake in the morning
Starts a new day
No fear on awakening
Is the start of today’s play
Doors without locks
Unbarred windows
Comfy sheets clean and dry
I didn’t wake and start to cry
Fish in the fish tank
Birdsong received
A prayer in the morning
Is what I perceive
It says that I am thankful
It asks for his help
To be grateful for his mercy
Kind to them I might help
Coffee in the morning
Maybe even toast
Not gagging in the bathroom
With that mirror’s awful roast
The van is on the driveway
It’s insured it’s even taxed
Who knew the time just flew
Van is even waxed
I am great full to be me today
I wouldn’t have thought there would come a day
When great-full words
Would be mine to say
