Poetry: Sunrise

by Linda Hinkley

Special Sunrise

I woke up this morning in my own bed

The same place I woke up before

But something was special about today

I have never noticed

As I opened up the door

The birds were singing in the trees

The air was nice and sweet

With the smell of flowers in the air

The traffic even had a special beat

The neighbor's yelling "hi" to me

Was such a welcome sound

I answered back , went out the door

To enjoy the sun while lying down

To my surprise It felt so good

It took me breath away

I stayed and enjoyed the wonder

of a special no-work day
