A Morning Greeting

Every morning when I wake

I look into the mirror

And say directly to myself

With no witness and no hearer

I’m glad that you are here today

It’s really rather fine

To live beneath the sunlit sky

To work and play in time

And then as day does while away

I’ll return to my nest

With thanks for all the day did hold

And gladly seek some rest
