ALWAYS EARLY TO RISE
I always get up with the lark,
My mind comes to life about then.
I always wake around four am
Before the sun has come up.
I pull back the curtains to greet the dark,
Always early to rise.
I stretch and switch on my computer,
Check on my e-mails and comments from friends
Around the world on the social media.
Chat to friends thousands of miles away,
Sharing messages, news and the gen,
Always early to rise.
I always brew the morning tea
Take a cup to my wife still abed
I have always been an early riser
Wide awake before dawn breaks
I always wake around four am
My mind comes to life about then
Always early to rise.
