The Sunrise Calls To Me

Before my day gets started

before work can interfere

I sit out on the front porch

and wait for the sun to appear

Quietly I sit there

with my morning cup

anxiously awaiting

the sun’s coming up

There is silence all around me

everything is still

no birds, no breeze, no sound at all

just the quiet, if you will

As it creeps up o’er the river

how pink the sky becomes

causing a spectrum of color

before the rising’s done

It makes the dewdrops speak to me

as they glisten on the grass

and I am filled with deep contentment

an equanimity, at last

This miracle of nature

this gift from God’s own hand

this morning sun shall warm the earth

as it shines down upon the land

Before my day gets started

before work can interfere

I am thankful for this miracle

and this time I hold so dear…

Have a great day!
