Morning Thoughts
When you woke up this morning
What were you thinking then?
Were you thinking happiness and joy
For a new day about to begin?
Were you groaning with aggravation?
Wanting to go back to bed and sleep
Wishing to block out the coming hours
By counting thousands of useless sheep?
The mood you assume when you first wake
Will follow you like a shadow all day through
The thoughts you choose to put in your head
Will serve to map the outcome of all you do.
So before you go to bed each night
Put a simple note on your bedside stand
An affirmative quote to read when you awake
Laced with hope and faith for your daily plan.
Don’t let life lead you by the woes
But lead it with purpose and drive
Plan your day to make every minute count
Good intentions, goals and resolve
Will make you feel truly alive.
