(wish I was a morning person)

Alan Heeley

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!😩
 
Oh my goodness..... Alan strikes again.... another BRILLIANT birthing of thoughts from North Wales.
How blessed we are to have a buffet of fine poets in our midst.

I delight in LOOKING for your posts the MOMENT I sign in. I AM a MORNING PERSON.

I am going to try to CRANK my brain into ENJOYING the final stages of the most difficult puzzle I have ever done.
Perhaps you can write a poem about my most frequent EXHALATION of comments lately..... GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!

I am a morning person too but being married to one who isn’t I feel their pain and struggle to welcome a new day
 
Heart broken that a friend chose her boyfriend before her… faith I wrote the following

Yield not to temptation

Yield not to temptation
But they forgot to tell me just how good it was!
I know there’s a time and place but I’ve jumped the gun.
Opening this Pandora’s box
Wakened a desire a thirst
I’m caught up with the moment…
can’t see the long term,
I justify my actions, search the scriptures to prove my point
Hawking my actions around to find approval
But while I walk this path I chose
Went from hero to zero in one fell swoop…
Feeling lost and abandoned
liberal minded lost my way,
Not close to Jesus at the moment
And it’s not Him that’s moved away

Oh my!!!!!! This resonated so close to my heart... I can place myself in that poem. Went from innocent to drowning very rapidly... in one fell swoop. My heart hears this poem... my heart FEELS the truth of this poem. I am so thankful that it was a lifetime ago.
