Morning 

Sun in my eyes, 

Peeking through the curtain less window

Making me feel warm and alive

Even though I sit here alone 

I don’t feel abandoned

I don’t feel unloved 

I feel the glory of the sunshine 

And what it represents 

Waking up in a positive light 

Can make your day so much better 

Leave the negatives behind 

Let your troubles roll off your sleeve 

Be brave, be strong, and most 

of all, be kind 

Praising the day’s potential 

Keeping  the past where it belongs 

Believing in the power of you 

And all that you stand for 

All this just from a ray of sunshine
