Notes About The Poem

Your Waking Face

I cry a little 
each daybreak,
but it's never 
out of sorrow.
It's because 
I see you,
unmasked,
and I'm always 
grateful 
to the morning sun.
It illuminates
and kisses
your face 
with its bright rays.
Your naked face,
a work of art;
the first thing
I see
as I'm rising 
at dawn.
A beautiful face, 
always smiling 
back at me.
