To wake in the morning

To wake in the morning and hold the sun in your hand
To see a dream come to be after thoughts you had planned
To laugh with a child and to share in her tears
To hold and protect to belay all her fears
The sound of a blackbird sing his own sweet sweet song
To admit to yourself when you know you are wrong
To shout out loud when you know your alone

To make good of a sin, to admit, to atone
To bathe naked in the moonlight with the one you adore
To win or to lose to miss or to score
To feel dew-wet grass slowly squeeze right through your toes
To share with the bees the delights of a rose
To write to compose to compile to make prose
To be happy with life to make do with your lot
To finish a poem to the end with a dot..
