Early to rise
with stars in my eyes,
I'm looking forward to a productive day.

How do I make the day last longer?
I intone God's Most Great Name,
and as my finger move my prayer beads
across their cord
I let the phrase flow through my mind.

Pausing
in the morning,
and at intervals through the day
to intone praise or gratitude
to the All Glorious Lord
makes my day last longer.
