10 O'clock in the Morning
There
is something about 10 o'clock in the morning, something that I love to
catch and hate to miss. I realized it two weeks ago as I was dropping
off the older two at VBS. By the time I saw them safely in the building
and got the two younger ones safely strapped in their car seats, it was
10 o'clock. 10 o'clock and something warm and exciting came over me.
Maybe 10 o'clock represents a second chance. You know how you plan on
doing something in the morning, but you haven't gotten it done yet?
When 12 noon rolls in, its too late, the am is now the pm. But 10
o'clock allows time to finish that morning task.
Maybe 10
o'clock is just the perfect time of the day. Not too early, not too
late. just right! Its not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the
winter. Just the right amount of sun in all seasons. The time that has
demanded a merge of breakfast and lunch.
I've found,
however, that 10 o'cock only has its signifigance when I remember to
acknowledge it. I am disappointed when it slips by me and its already
eleven thirty or some other "just not right time of the day". I almost
have a little "party" within myslef at the site of the hands strike ten!
Our school days are at their greatest when we are on time by 10
o'clock. That means that preschool / handwriting is done and I have
completed 30 minutes of individual time in either reading or math with
a child, with one hour and thirty minutes still within in my grasp! Oh
TEN O'CLOCK I LOVE YOU!!!
So, now that you all think I am crazy, why not solidify my room with the padded walls with a poem dedicated to 10 o'clock:
It could be one, two, three or five
that gets me going, keeps me alive.
Six, seven, eight are fine
when I want to wine and dine.
Nine, eleven even twelve are great
for a party or a play date.
But if a smile is what your after
then let it be 10, because 10 o'clock is when I begin
to shine from the inside with a radiant glow
why it happens
I don't excatly know
but it does everyday at the end of 9:59
the world stops for me
on the turn of a dime
for now its my duty, now its my time
to wink at the clock
and silently grin
for the Good Lord had granted
me the good
time of
ten!
