There’s grace in the sunrise
when darkness slowly fades away
and joy in the moment
when I begin a brand new day
When the sun lifts up higher
covering the sky with more light
I see billows of clouds form
on a blue background so bright
Walking tree covered pathways,
listening to birds’ sweet songs
I hum with their singing
as I stroll peacefully along
My eyes spot wild roses
weaving in and out between trees
and I revel in all the beauty
of everything I see
Butterflies zigzag through bushes
as they frolic around
with some landing softly on leaves
without making a sound
On my path there’s dappling of sunshine
that streams from between leaves on high
and in the quiet of the morning I breathe
in and out with a sigh
It’s a long sigh of gratitude
from somewhere deep in my soul
that helps me appreciate God’s creation
and makes me feel whole
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3
