A New Day Has Dawned
By Kathy Armijo


 


As I lie in bed
Being thankful, I’m not dead
I contemplate my day


I don’t want to do laundry
Or clean the house
Does this make me a louse?


I would rather be warm and toasty
In my bed
Think I will stay here a while longer


Suddenly, my mind begins to whirr
Rather like the house in The Wizard of Oz
Where will my thoughts land?


I hear my conscience talking
I try balking
Daylight is burning


Much to do
Will never have this time again
A new day has dawned


One last yawn
Say my prayers
Jump out of bed


Stub my toe
Ouch!
Open the curtains


Glad I did not miss much
Enjoy the sunrise
And God’s glorious surprise


As “Another New and Wonderful Day has Dawned”

I had one of those days this morning. I skipped going to the gym. I finally arose and had a little breakfast. The phone rang and the police chief asked if I would go to the hospital to be with a family whose son was being removed from life support. The family had no church affiliation. God used my day even when I felt like loafing. I identify with your poem here.

Thanks

I never get tired of the dawning of a new day. It's rebirth and even for the creaturses they stop to salute the day. Take a look at the rooster and mockingbirds and frogs and scurrying of small feet. I love it all. This is a salute to living!
Love and blessings.

LOL at Karen's comment, below: she stole my thunder! Still, can't argue with this: always good to wake up, breathing. And then to have the rest of the day - glorious! A great reminder to count our blessings (including stubbed toes: least you can walk, feel, and thank God it wasn't broken - that hurts!), well done, Kathy and Steve!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
