The Top Ten Reasons I Love Waking Up

(For the Top Ten Contest) Number ten would be the sunshine peeking through the blinds. Nine would be the birds calling exclaiming o’er worms they find. The eighth is the knowledge that I have a full day ahead of me. Seven is the mat beckoning for Yoga - to help me be free. The sixth reason is how I manage to crawl out from the sheets. The lure of fresh coffee and breakfast a banana, or Cream of Wheat. Five is brushing away the fuzzy morning breath that lingers. Four is watering my plants and checking the soil with my fingers. And the top three reasons morning is an easy time for me to greet. Are all because of you, my love for with you each morning I meet. Three is your smile, always ready. Two is your touch, always loving. And the number one reason I find the promise of morning so moving: Are your beautiful, sparkling, radiant and wonderful, captivating, deep soulful green eyes that so easily pull me from the seductive land of sleep.
