Yet, another day

I hear the sound

of a new morning

reaching out for me

with no knowledge

of what it will bring,...

another sacrifice

or 

just a day like

any other day

I open up my eyes

as

the horizon 

of my thoughts

is slowly disappearing

into this new day

I welcome the sun

like a long lost friend

shining outside as

it is coming back

into my life

I then

have to acknowledge

how lucky I am to yet

add another day

to my life

and I know

there will be days

with

another sunrise

but all of them

in a way

are special to me

as this day will be

when again I will rise 

against the odds of time

and enjoy the goodness

of

yet another day
