A Reason

A reason to get out of bed
A reason to get out under the covers
A reason to get dressed and showered
A reason to stop and smell the flowers

A reason to ride my bike 
A reason to walk around at night
A reason to smile at a stranger 
A smile that means no danger

A reason to relax and drink some tea
A reason to lounge around my hose freely
A reason not to stare at the clock 
A reason to not listen to heavy rock

Running around in the cold rain
I don’t have a reason for any of these things
Sometimes I just like to complain
Sometimes I just don’t want to do anything
