I wake up in the morning

I wake up in the morning 

to another beautiful day 

The thoughts of our crazy world flood in 

And I push the beauty away 

My mind is in decision fatigue 

of all the responses to make 

Uncertainty is in demand 

I'm not sure how much I can take 

STOP REWIND 

I wake up in the morning 

to another beautiful day 

the thoughts of kindness in our world flood in 

as I make this the new mantra to say

My mind is clear, my body ready 

for all the responses to make 

Uncertainty a global challenge 

I'm up for the journey, we need to take 

Lament the old or embrace the new 

even if its all unsure 

I for one am dancing on 

there's nowhere else, this is the core 

Working from home in my tiny space, 

a portal to the future is now

I laugh, I cry, I miss the hugs 

For the good of all, I bow

Grateful to the collective effort, 

everyone playing their part 

Let's keep going and make the best 

Human... is a great place to start

END
