Description

Morning is the part of the day that comes after you wake up and before noon. It is often linked with starting work, going to school, eating breakfast, or getting ready for the day. People talk about "early morning," "late morning," or "this morning" when they want to place something in that part of the day. It can also carry a sense of freshness or a new start, which is why many stories and everyday conversations use it to set a calm or hopeful scene.
