I lay awake all night,
The heat stopping me from sleeping.
The fan trying to keep me cool,
But sleep evades me.
Dawn arrives and up I get,
I go downstairs,
Open the doors ,
And a fine cooling breeze
Wafts through the house,
And in that cooling breeze
I write these words,
These words of gratitude
For the joy of Nature
Keeping me cool,
Even though I know
I know it will not last long,
As the heat of the day
Will once more ruin my day.
