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
