Analysis of Morning Thoughts of Love

Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)



Before the sun is up
And the moon is out

Before I wake from sleep
And arise from my bed

Before I read my Bible
And take my coffee

Before I take my bath
And prepare for work

Before I eat my breakfast
And leave the comfort of my home

I must have first experienced a yesterday
Filled with loving memories of you

And must have anticipated a tomorrow
Filled with many loving things to do with you.
