I got up this morning.
T’is a day like the rest.
Sunny or rainy
Each day is the best.
Just the fact I awake,
Each bright early morn.
Lightens my heart,
And puts me in good form
It’s not like my life’s empty
With nothing to do.
So the weather don’t matter.
Let me give you that clue.
I work inside if rainy,
and outside if bright.
It is only deep cold.
That can get me up tight.
Summer is here.
I’m so happy you see.
I strut around, In jeans and a “T”
I ride my scooter where ever I go.
I don’t need my car.
If it’s warm out you know.
So my life is now
Quite full of grace
I have my health,
And my own little place
I grow most of my food.
I know how to cook.
Maybe some day
They’ll put my words in a book
What more can one ask for
in this world which we live?
Other than when
Will we all learn how to give?
