I Woke Up to a New Day

Light came through my window

as the sun began to rise.

The warm, golden rays fell upon my eyes.

A bird chirped, as the day began anew.

There were some many possibilities;

so many things I could do!

I could go to the beach.

I could clean the house.

I could water each

plant and feed each mouse.

But the first thing I did,

before filling my morning cup,

was open my eyes,

excitedly smile,

and wake up.
