People wake me up this morning Late or early, I don’t remember Every time I can see you early After last nights walk, I couldn’t See the wold in the early morning End of my thoughts I was awake

Left my bed clean to sleep tonight Each time I leave the bed it is cold To get me dressed being warm

Me facing the day to write Eager to learn what the day brings

Strength was what I needed the most Lieu to stay in bed being the laziest Emotions got higher and higher Embroiling me with what I feel Psychological couldn’t be better

After all these emotions I felt

Flattering the day however Every minute was worth to see Wasting not my time by nothing

Momentum Over and again Rely on what you know Eager to learn

Mesmerized with the situation Indeed I could Never feel alone Utilize Together with whom you love Every moment Say what the day brought you

When you woke up this morning, what was the first sentence you told yourself?

It is funny to see what kind of acrostic poem you can make with that sentence.

My first sentence this morning was “Please, let me sleep a few more minutes”. So, let go with this sentence for an acrostic poem.

I am curious about what sentence you woke up this morning.
