A Telling Sign

gleaming in the sky
      at the infancy of dawn
       a bright morning star
  right then I knew my prayer
 for a good day was answered

Light, joy and hope all captured in your image of "infancy of dawn!" Wonderful image and metaphor! It is truly amazing how God speaks to us in the simplest routines of nature. This is a joyful morning shout of faith Edward. Congratulations on your win. Blessings for your day.
