lifting sleepy heads through rich black soil
emerging seedlings awaken
turning faces to the sun
embraced by morning light
dripping with cool dew
impatiently
infused hope
begins
life

I can picture a garden about which one cares deeply.

Very nice and it's a good parallel to a person getting up in the morning to start their day.

Well thank you so much. I really appreciate that you took the time to read the poem. I hadn't thought about the similarity of getting up to start your day, but you are right.
