Rise With A Grin
In the morning, rise with a grin,
Choose laughter over dreary chin,
The day is here, don't waste your chance
With coffee or tea, let joy enhance.
Embrace the light as sunshine's dew,
Sing with birds in joviality, do!
Each morn awakes, a fresh debut,
Good morning to you! Howdy - do!
-- Poet Catherine Pulsifer
