Rise and Shine

Rise and Shine By Franklin Price 9/17/2015 Rise and shine can't live your life By lying in the bed Get up and wipe your sleepy eyes And move around instead Have a cup of coffee Or a little spot of tea Have a bite to break your fast Stopping the hunger sets you free Stick your head outside the door See what's in store for you Clear skies or stormy weather Can help determine what to do If you're not among the rich And have to drive to work I hope you have a job you like And the money's just a perk If you're like me retired And don't miss that morning drive Look up and say a prayer Thanking God you're still alive Give thanks for all your blessings And for family and friends And for a place to lay your head When the day comes to an end
