God wakes me up

The dim light comes through my bedroom window
creeping along the wall and up to the ceiling
slowly, slowly, becoming brighter
to lure me out of sleep.
God arouses me.

The birds chirp and tweet
chattering with each other
welcoming the new day.
God awakens me.

The great golden sun arrives
brightening up the whole room
announcing that it is time to get up.
God gets me on my feet.

Breathing in the blessing
of a new day
of possibilities, opportunities
new beginnings.
Thanking God for
waking me up once again.
