A new day has begun

           A new day has begun. The pressing off an alarm.
Yet still clinging to the warmth of linens. Climbing out
seems distant.

          A silent prayer to my Father, Jehovah as the heart
beats rapidly. Aching, tightening because of anxiety
trying to unnerve me into the morning light.

         Silently I lay here just breathing. Soon to feel
the sharpness of jolts cease. In my mind I thank
Jehovah for granting me the answered prayer.

         Stretching, loosening up tightly curled limbs.
Now the eyes becoming more and more alert. The mind
rolling off the must do list for the morning.

         I hope a bit of a smile greets me today. Indeed
the necessity is there. Yet I don't dare ask, just hope.

        Silly as just one dream dares to enter reality,
a hope clings tightly. Ah indeed I am prepared to give
a few steps if others are too.

       Ah one last alarm telling my mind, this is it. No more
relaxing in warmth. Get out, get started on the day.
So much is hoped for, I look forward to seeing the
rewards of patience.

     So dear friend I hope your morning has given you
a few seconds of warmth, a handful of hopes and lots
of courage to press through all that may be negatively
attacking you. One more thing is that a hug clings
to the morning air. I hope you find it, sqeezing
tightly and giving thanks to Jehovah for wonderful
siblings.

     Hmm. Up I go. Pressing, hoping into the new day.
Will you be there with me?
