Mantra

Hopewriters- Day 2 Mantra
The sun peaks through the blinds and reaches is arms across the room making striped figures on our oriental rug.

A new day waits for me to take its hand and begin the dance again. But I am hesitant and sleepy and not sure I am ready for the tango so I snuggle into the pillow pretending I don’t hear the invitation.

But then I hear your sweet voice quiet and lovely in my ears, in rhythm all its own;

“I’m here to greet this day with you.
I am faithful and my words true
I’m kind and I’m strong
I have been here
all night long. Watching you sleep and
covering you with love,
singing songs over you
from heavenly places above.
I am the one in charge today
Rest assured my kindness will
show us the way.
Come get coffee and
eat something with me -
share your heart
let me see,
all that you carry
into this day.
And I will help you
see it my way.
Come my lovely one
wipe the sleep from your eyes,
it’s time to wake, time to rise.
I am with you
don’t be afraid
You are held
every step of today.
Love, it’s my song and
joy is my way.”

Slowly I peel off the covers. Bare legs greet the chill but my heart is warm and full. I step onto the carpet covered with sun thankful a new day with You has begun.
