Each Day- a Gift


I watch the splendor of the rising sun.
A new beginning when the night is done.
This light
so bright
brings hope of living fullest until night.

I live the daydreams that new morning brings;
my heart fills up with joyousness that sings.
My song
is strong
with thanks, another day has come along.

I see new daylight's swaying flowers, trees;
reflect their graceful moves in the soft breeze.
Their dance
a glance
of nature's beauty that holds me in trance.

I feel the inner peace in sunset's glow.
Though this day's done, by grace of God, I know
next dawn
I'm drawn
to capture new day's joy before it's gone.

Each day, a gift from God to hold,
that glows beneath his sun of gold.
