Waking up for prayer
I wake up for prayer
morning mist in my eyes
and half asleep, determined
to stare blankly at the morning sunrise.
Its to early I think to myself.
But I remember the feeling of when I'm done
and how there is a time for important things
and a time for fun.
Knowing that I must pray so I wont regret that when my life is done.
