Why Do I Rise?
The slant of the sun rays cutting through trees
This is good morning to me
The simmering sound of sweet meats and steam
This is good morning to me
But the way that her hair falls and cascades off her shoulder
The way that her lips curl, the heat of her smolder
The beautiful way that her skin’s growing older
This is what matters to me
The beautiful thought that our love’s growing older
This is what matters to me
