Starting The Day

When you look back, life is full of advice.  Some we take, some we reject, some creeps up on us.

Morn’s light trickles over the edge of dawn,

Blossoms into day,

Breathing life into the present.

And I awake-

Awake with dreams forgotten,

Not stored.

I turn my face towards the day,

Breathe life’s essence and

Recall your words:

‘There’s more to life than work.’

‘Live life to the full.’

‘Be happy!’

‘Do it your way!’

     Thank you Dad!
