Morning light creeps in my bedroom window
Hours of darkness fade and yellow dawn
Floats through curtain cover
Another sleep is over
Wake O sleepy head and greet the morn
Night time hours have passed
The world was turning
And I have left the conscious world behind
The house is filled with quiet
Silence its daily diet
Soothing me restoring peace of mind
At end of day I happily retire
Curtains closed lights out I fall asleep
My days of night time reading
I am no longer needing
So happy this appointment now to keep
And morning light is welcome I can say
The days of inner darkness are away
The simple joy of breathing air
To have a heart now free from care
Is happiness more than I can say
