As I sit beside my window looking at the morning sun
And all the people milling round on a day that's just begun.
The warmth, it penetrates the glass and absorbs into my skin
I close my eyes and lift my head to immerse myself within.
The people all in vest tops and lightly coloured skirts,
Or shorts with leather sandals and airy linen shirts,
Are laughing in the sunshine while eating their ice-cream,
The birds are also singing, it's like a summer's dream!
There's children playing football and girls with skipping ropes.
They should be wearing sunscreen, you'd think they were, one hopes!
But, something interrrupts my thoughts, I hear a buzzing sound.
The people are all fading  as I slowly come around.
I gently open up my eyes and glance over at the clock.
It's 6am and I hit snooze to delay the morning shock.
The heating's not kicked in yet but my bed is nice and warm,
The cat is sleeping on my feet as usual, true to form!!
I didn't close my curtains and I can see that it's quite dark.
The frost is glistening on the roofs and the trees are fairly stark.
I hate the dreary winter and the lack of morning light,
But what a lovely dream I had and what a lovely night!
