Most mornings I get up before the dawn Wake up my heart, take coffee to the swing To feel the thrill each twilight's beauty brings Endure the rush, as birds sing morning's song Oh, how I love to watch the morning yawn Bounce from night's cover as if on a spring A smile so bright, it lights up everything Magnificence beyond my lexicon And on occasion when a morning breaks Gray clouds refuse to let the sky turn blue The beauty falls in droplets and or flakes Until the unrelenting sun shines through I wake my heart to watch each day begin All through my day, that peace remains within by Daniel Turner 10-17-17

I'm am back. You are gone. Really desire simple knowledge only at this point, but not easily obtained: I want to know you are you and you are okay. You are in my constant thoughts and prayers. It never occurred to me that when I finally got back, your presence would be silent. Make some noise on up in here, Dan - please. So good to read you again and this one thoroughly Danny-delivered. All would be perfect if you'd just show face. Then write happily from your Soup place. Danny - where?
