Ode to a Sweet Summer Morn

Sittin’ in the sunshine before the start of heat

It’s hittin’ my bare toes. I’ve got flipflops on my feet.

Thankin’ God for breezes, ah the mornings are so sweet.

.

There’s nothing like a breeze accompanied by shade

My second cup of coffee, in a mug, freshly made

Better drink it fast before this moment will fade

.

The sun is creeping to my knees. I’m beginning to get warm

The calm of the morning is slowly starting to transform

You could liken this moment to the calm before the storm.

.

Enjoyin’ the silence a little too much I confess

Before the kids file out with the start of their requests

I get up but find my way back, nevertheless.

.

Mr. Sun, excuse me, but you’re getting in my eyes

I’ll sit further in the corner as a way to improvise

Mornings with you show me just how time flies.

.

There’s no more shade to speak of, not even to borrow

I won’t fret although you may think it’s the cause of some sorrow

Time to sieze the day, I’ll meet you back here tomorrow!
