Modeh Ani-Thank You

Modeh ani,

Good morning God,

My thanks to Thee,

For the usual and the odd

I open my eyes,

Wriggle my toes,

What a surprise 

 and know what nobody knows

I can bend my knees

And do as I please

Jump out of my bed,

Or roll off instead

Hear my heart beating,

Either fast or slow

Up and down belly breathing

Like putting on a show

On a wintry morn

Shivering and cold

I snuggle  reborn

A life to unfold

My heels on the rug

Soft and sure

Toasty and snug

I feel so secure

Sounds all around me

Silence and snores

A morning melody

The opening of doors

Through the clear window

I am able to see

Lights coming on below

And   rising sun’s   mystery

My  nose  can smell

The toasting of bread

My ears can tell

Of a family  being fed

A mother’s smile,

A father’s hug,

Lying back a little while,

Relishing life’s tender tug 

my eyes still shut

 I open my heart,

getting out of the rut

A new day to start

 Im alive, with no effort

And nothing  must I do,

For Your gift and support

I sincerely thank You.
