Gingerly, I awaken,
Unaware of the time or place.
For that split second,
everything is still ok.
Then the reality sets in,
And the world burdens me,
With the “to do”s and the “need to”s,
The “urgent”s and the “should have”s from yesterday.
Before those get too great,
I pour a cup of coffee,
And feel thankful that I woke up today.
