Everyday I wake up

and like many people, 

I make my bed.

Such a simple task,

yet so essential to my daily routine.

While it makes my room look clean,

organized and neat,

it truly forces me to set aside some time 

before my busy day.

I can put on some music,

and make my bed. 

It gives me a moment,

even if it’s less than five minutes,

to clear my head

and gather my thoughts 

before the day ahead of me.
