Waking up 

Waking up, my eyes are semi-blinded from the light my eyes have been blessed to see for 37 years.
As they adjust and dance to adapt to the sight of a familiar view, my lips form a smile on the home they share called face.
Looking to see what adventure the day has ahead of me.
I’m eager to meet strangers who will become my long-term friends, and who will have similar or different goals.
Talking in the same and different languages.
Walking in the same direction but on different paths.
Waking up to make the day better than what it was yesterday
