Awakening Words

I Aw (OR: Ahhhh!) Ake ( ache?) A W A K E - not a Wake, infinitely better - awake again this day, a miracle! O gratitude Awaking (a choice to make) Repeat the past, Recycle Me, or At Last Recall Living Words II Awaking each day. Stop recycling away Especially hurts. Words like swords. Say: I thank the Universe In halting prayers or living Verse To wake up is simply an Awakening This should be happening Each time we are born again from naps Jesus: You have changed me: With me in the gaps III The great choice before us each day Is to begin with "I Pray - I will be grateful today No one owes me this 24-hour New Day Addictions, old worries. Away! Words of Life, think them, not of yesterday The Universe is waiting to blow us away" shalom shalom
