A New Morning

~*~

Woke to a beautiful morning

 

Rubbing the sleep of my eyes

Clear and bright

A great summer day

Not a cloud in the sky.

I quickly rose to my feet

I stretched my body

West to east

From side to side

Up towards the sky,

Reached down to my toes

With ease.

Did several jumping jacks,

Some mountain climbers,

Even a push ups or two

Went outside

Inhaled a deep breath

Went for a brisk walk

Not so bad for an old man

With a history

Over a half century behind.

Walked over 2 miles

Found myself strutting

Herd some lovely ladies

Passing by saying

“Isn’t he healthy looking

So handsome.

Made me feel so great

I decided to “jog” back home

Wow! I made it

I said to no one there

Under all my sweat,

I felt great

Turned on the shower

Hot and soothing

Looked in the mirror

Closed my eyes

Took a deep breath

As I was ready to exhale

I opened my eyes

Sat on the bed

Placed my feet on the warm rug

Looked out the window

It was still dark out side.

You sound like you are very fit, William. I know my doctors would like the same thing for me. But I have not been active for awhile. I will have to take it slow. Anyhow you keep that fitness and you will be able to be back on the force.

GOD BLESS

Don;t you just love those dreams of when we could do the things that are difficult now. Perhaps your dream is telling you to get back to your old self and that it is possible. I am feeling very blue and lonely these days, and my dreams are definitely trying to lift my spirits. To dreams and manifestation of those dreams to become reality!
There is always hope for a better life.
Much peace, love, and light,

Sounds like a quest was made and accomplished. Set the bar a little higher each time and soon...you may be jogging hereabouts in Brandon. Hmmmmm, That's not a bad idea. Great poem and I stopped to catch my own breath as your words took me along.
