On awakening my thoughts are provoked

and a new being is born in me each day.

Thinking so much of what others do not,

I realize learning will never stop,

and certainly it is not permanent.

Being open as I journey

in search of knowing.

Surrendering thought to the day

only as it comes.

Looking for the understanding of you

and the being of me.

Do you feel what I say,

are you listening too?
