Morning Breaks

 

Each morning I awake

The day is mine to make

The opportunities to take

But do I know what’s at stake?

 

My vision so opaque

I could make a big mistake

Of that which I partake

Can’t abide another ache

 

Therefore I must strive

To be vigilant as I drive

In all that I contrive

That I may safely arrive

 

The goal is to survive

To flourish and to thrive

From all that I derive

Be glad to be alive

 

It is incumbent upon me

To be all that I can be

To set my spirit free

From chaos and debris

 

So much I can’t foresee

And there is no guarantee

We take life by degree

It\'s all relative, don’t you see!
