"Morning Meditation"

I rise from my slumbering rest.
I greet the growing day, with
Hope.
Mind still fogged with cobwebs of sleep,
I wash my Face.

Clinging to the remnants of dreams; wisps of memories
From the night drift through my mind,
Fading away as a Mist sinks into the ground at night.

Will I be a helper to those in need, that cross my path today?
I will do my best, though
I am human, and not perfect.

Gazing across the enormity of the world ahead of me,
The Responsibilities, the Possibilities, the Opportunities;
I know I have Abilities and Sensibilities, which I will
Use as my Capabilities allow.

My open heart will bleed Love on all who need it, Though worries
Crease my brow.
I will smile to let the
Sunshine show,
Through the Laugh lines I know,
To give help and care
To all as I go.

^{A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.”
