Your Why

It's that gas in the morning.
It's the thanks you give at night while yawning.
It's the reason you can hold a smile.
Even when you're tired, it's why you don't mind staying a while. 
It's the little nudge that reminds you to stay focused when distractions come.
It's that giddy feeling you get while working that makes you hum.
It's the most beautiful dream you could dream, whether day or night.
It's that precious jewel in your heart that you keep safe and hold tight.
