I woke up
(wish I was a morning person)
I woke up,
Well at least my mind did,
At silly o’clock this morn
Wondering what time it was
And am I ready,
Ready to face today?
My mind is running video clips of what happened yesterday,
Then went on to musing what’s going to happen when I open my eyes and engage,
I see mountains to climb,
Places to go,
people to see,
I see problems,
No sorry:-‘opportunities’ to put my faith in gear
I see a beautiful sun rises
I hear birds, welcoming the dawn
I feel warmth,
I feel a chilling wind…
Trying to crank my brain into gear thinking what shall I wear?
I need to dress appropriately to be ready to replace this
Cocoon of safe, warm loveliness my quilt affords,
The Alarms rings, time to get up
Shall I open my eyes , or just risk one?
Summon the strength to
welcome in, another day?
Shall I bounce, er, crawling out of bed,
stumbling across the room
Draw open the curtains
Swing the windows open wide
Welcoming…
‘This day which the LORD hath made’?
Or…
Hit the snooze button leave the rejoice and be glad in it.
For another eight minutes?
I think it’s going to be one of days… and I haven’t even opened my eyes!
