"Good Morning, Morning-Glory"

As you climb upon my gate

You beckon me to slow down a bit

When I am running late!

 

And there in all your glory

With blue eyes toward the sun

You keep inviting me to stay

When I really need to run

 

You never worry about the clock

As you wink at me and smile

I’d rather stick around with you

And "sun" a little while

 

Not knowing of time and schedules

Would be absolutely fine

For simple beauty will last forever

In the garden of my mind

 

"Good Morning, Morning-Glory"

And you greet me as if to say

"Come on and slow down a bit

And enjoy each blessed day!"
