Birds chirping,
Crickets annoying,
Frogs quarrelling,
Yes it’s brand new day…
Sun in the far East,
Darkness lost its battle,
Dew glittering on the grass,
Like a new refined diamond,
But hey buddy,
It’s your time to wake up,
Its your duty to rub your eyes,
It’s your energy that you need,
To throw away the blankets,
And drop your feet on the floor.
When you rise up,
When you you’re still in dream fantasy,
Hold your hands together,
And believe,
Whisper a wish your creator,
Just a short one.
When you rise up,
When you abandon your bed,
Or even racks to lay,
Take a pen,
And a paper,
And write your future,
Write slowly,
Embracing heavy thinking,
Then place down the note,
In your favourite envelope.
When you rise up,
When you say no to your yesterday,
Get out,
And go,
Be fresh,
Wear a smile,
Greet someone,
And do something.
