When you awake, tomorrow morn
Open the shades; greet each sun ray
A new beginning shall be born
A start from which you’ll never stray
The skies above, so crystal clear
Will pave a path to brighter hours
Your heart will be embraced by cheer
As you move from yesterday’s showers.

When you awake, start with a smile
The best, my friend, is yet to be
Promise to make your time worthwhile
Then, you will find bliss shall not flee
Approach the future, filled with peace
And you will see when day is through
Contentment, unable to cease
Will have made its way there with you.

When you awake, come next sunrise
Take time to say, “I love myself”
The twinkle shining in your eyes
Articulates your inner wealth
As you head down your path, have trust
That good tidings will come your way
Then carry on, howe'er you must
While you behold a joyful day.
