In the stillness of the breaking dawn
With a book and morning brew
Sitting calmly within this silence
When everything starts new
*
The light and shadows dance
With gentle movements across the room
There’s peace here in this moment;
Another day for hope to bloom
*
In the newness of this day
I pause in gratitude
For all things great and small
With a thankful attitude
*
As the sun rises again
There’s another chance to see
All the special, wondrous blessings
That God prepared for me
*
Living in each moment
With an awareness of little joys
That’s what I’ll do on this day
Blocking out all the other noise
*
Every day with each new dawn
There are countless gifts around
To lift me up above the hard
With joyful moments to be found

Thank you, Vickie. Rhyme isn’t as popular these days but that style seems to just flow out of me in a lyrical way so I go with it. I’m glad to hear you liked it. Love to you and your family!

I can only do it when I’m not distracted by the noise of the world. I have a lot of alone time to reflect and write … a benefit of where my life is right now. Thank you, Judy 💕
