Most days I wake and feel really happy. How lucky am I to have the life that I have!
Waking to Joy
I love waking to the
eager expectation of
what this day will bring,
Today as my eyes opened
my smile began
somewhere deep inside,
First, it hit my stomach,
It felt warm and full,
Then I found my smile,
was flowing outwards
reaching my fingers and toes,
The warmth contrasting
with the cool morning,
As I sit quietly I feel
my smile surrounding
my first thoughts
about the hope
waiting for my
next conversation,
And, the laughter
that will be shared
when smiling with others,
My joy found as
my face turns to
the new mercies
yet to be found in this day.
“Inside everyone is a great shout of joy”. David Whyte
