Alarm Clock

Alarm Clock - I love you and I hate you.

I love that you help me wake up on time to fulfill my commitments.

I love that I can count on you to penetrate my deepest sleep - to save me from my worst nightmare.

And I love that I can look at you and know what time of day it is - how much time has passed and how much time I have left in the day.

But oh, how I also hate some commitments I have in the day, that you wake me up to. Sometimes when I hear you, I think of all the things I worry about!

And how I hate the sound you make that wakes me up.

But your dependability is much appreciated. I would be more stressed doing the things I hate and being late than if I were on time!

You are the first thing I hear when I wake up. I can count on you to say, "Wake up! Time to get dressed and exercise! Exercise is good for you! Today could be the best day of your life!"

So thank you, alarm clock. Your good outweighs the bad!
