Early Morning Hours

Early morning hours greet me quietly after my rest
All that can be heard, are the birds calling from the trees
As the darkness fades and the light of day emerges,
My mind is clear, my body calm, as what stands before me
                  --- It is a new beginning ---
Quality time waits at my doorstep for me to walk into
Consciously knowing, I can make the best of it all
As the birds call and the sun rises, I am ready to start
I am ready to move forward, beyond left over thoughts
                    --- To be all that I can ---
                       --- As I transcend ---
                       --- Into a new day ---

Wonderfully positive write Heidi, you helped me to try and see the positive in each day, lately it's been difficult, with my wife in the hospital with no return date in sight. You really encouraged me to try and enjoy the little things that bring joy.

A very inspirational poem for everyone, it s really deep and clear, it s truth that every new day brings new tasks, a new chance to improve ourselves, the past is dead but the future may be bright, just forget what happens in past and move on, try to improve your future, every new day brings new hope and never give up, keep up the hardwork and one day you shall be awarded

Very uplifting and inspirational poem, Heidi. Love the line ... beyond left over thoughts. And any poem w/one of my fave words: transcend, is an automatic winner. Wonderful poem. Love and smiles.

As I stare to where the sun comes up, beauty lies ahead...mixing with the daffodils and the roses in her bed. I breathe in all her glory as she fills into my soul. Living through her paradise and all that life bestows.....good morning Heidi
