Morning

"Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and crotchety...

...good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness."
