We wake at dawn to find
what we did not know last night
Welcoming what is to come
as we witness changing light
The mind is slowly waking
taking in the many ways
Those things that will become the memories
are now forming in our haze
A cup of stimulant to wake us
The brewing smell of bean
A lovely mug of the idol
we allow to intervene
A bite to fill the stomach
We desire the energy
to run the race ahead of us
Provide for family
Strengthen us, oh God
May we never forget your way
as we get ourselves together
and go about your day
Praise you, dear God
for another chance at life
May we somehow show the world you way
before your coming night
