Wake-Up Call
An intermittent sound
Alerted my inner ear
Spurring me into wakefulness
As my name formed crystal clear
Theresa, Theresa, Theresa.
Repeatedly in tune
Urging my reaction
One morning in early June
I awoke to hear chirruping
So insistent in bird refrain
Guarding it's perch dutifully
To arouse me was it's aim
My curtains threaded sunlight
Heralding life anew
Another day thus realised
As away my messenger flew.
