It Was One of Those Mornings

A Morning to Forget

Came wide awake, feeling rested, so refreshed 
took shower, drank coffee, even got dressed 
noticed it was still dark, only two hours slept 
with six hours left, back to bed I crept


An Unforgettable Morning

Sipping strong hot coffee, cool breeze on our skin 
Sun broaches the horizon, a new day to begin 
Kentucky bluegrass glistens, silver morning dew 
front porch moments cherished, alone with you
