Peacefully I lie here Not quite awake, yet not asleep Inside me, my mind's a river And my thoughts are running deep Through my window streams the morning sun I smile as it carresses my face I think of how this day will affect my life It's like adding a mile to life's unfinished race The day could end in triumph Or, sadly, in defeat But I am not the type of person To let myself be beat And so as I lie here More awake than I was before I know today I'll get up quickly To answer the knock on life's door Written November 10th, 2001 © on Nov 10 2001 12:21 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
