June 16, 2021
Time on the patio greeting the sun,
Time just before daylight, the day’s not begun.
A cup of hot coffee to ease me awake
Reminiscent of mornings I spent near a lake.
The flowers, so lovely that bloom by the fence,
They give off such fragrance, such sweet-smelling scents.
The birds on the branches all greet me with song.
A time of reflection, I can’t tarry long.
Lucy’s asleep spending time in my lap,
She’s all snuggled down, time to finish her nap.
The sun is appearing with its golden hue
Rolling back darkness the sky’s turning blue.
I cherish these moments to sit and reflect
It’s a habit I savor, don’t often neglect.
No matter the troubles that this day may bring,
I can start it off peacefully, let my heart sing.
