Morning Prayer

Moisture laden morning air wraps pale shawls round sleepy trees; wee birds sing in cool garden lifting praise on pleasing breeze. Bees busy dusting flowers, packing perfumed honey bags, buzz low to kiss choice blossoms drooped beneath dewdrops downward drag. I worship, cloistered dawning, held still in God's supreme hand; linger, soft laughing moments, giving grace for day's demands. Faye Lanham Gibson Copyright, 6-21-14

Seeing nature like this is such a wonderful way to start the day, Faye. A fine visualization of God's offering. Loved this one, my friend.... Robert.

I like this. I can relate to the overall message. It is nice to imagine the scene. A morning filled with all the lovely things that make a summers day. Well done. Regards, Colin.
