Good Morning Sunshine Poem by Sandra Martyres

The strong aroma of coffee
Rant the air- his wake up call
Within minutes he was up
Washed and changed ready
For his morning cuppa armed
With weighty newspapers
He settled down in an easy chair
His wife placed a tray beside him
Then savouring each sip of the
Delicious Arabica brew just
Out of the coffee percolator
He began reading the news aloud

Outside birds tweeted in the trees
Butterflies flitted among the flowers
Caterpillars crept up the stems
The puppies jumped around
It was a typical day in early Summer
One which warranted staying outdoors
To absorb the sunshine and breathe
In fresh air enjoying the surroundings
The neighbours being early risers
Were already mowing their lawns
A feeling of joy overcame him
Looking upwards to heaven he smiled
Thanking God for another lovely day
