Waking up!

When waking up is one of the hardest things to do 

And the first sound you make is a despairing groan 

When you don't want the pain of another day 

And just want to stay in bed and sleep, to tell the world to go away. 

Look outside and see the life around you 

A flower, a bird, even the tiniest insect has its own beauty 

Just sit and watch, take a moment for yourself 

Allow the wonder and magic of life to consume your mind 

Let that pretty flower, or bird, or insect become your reality 

As you sit there in awe of what you see 

Thoughts may wonder if someone will ever truly understand you 

And want to be part of your life 

At these times remember, in this world, you are the only you 

You are unique, and your wonderful qualities are ready to shine 

And somehow, at some point, probably most unexpectedly 

You will find someone out there who believes in you 

Who wants to share your pain, to take part of the burden 

And you will find joy that was once unimaginable!
