Morning Gratitude

Morning Gratitude
Kevin Davis 2025

I rise before the break of day,
To claim an hour that’s, mine to keep.
Alone I greet the growing gray,
While dawn awakes from quiet sleep.

I watch the sky ignite with flame,
Then blush to gold and fade from sight.
No two sunrises are the same,
Each brief display is a gift of light.

I walk where silver dew has lain
And plan the labors of the day.
An apple’s sweetness, crisp and plain,
While robins dart and wheel away.

My thoughts grow sharp, my spirit still.
I dress without a rush or fret.
Each simple task bends to my will,
By ordered grace and habit set.

Before I leave, I pause awhile
To see my love in peaceful rest.
I wake her with a kiss and smile
And hold her close against my chest.

I thank the Lord for one more dawn,
For love that waits when day is through.
Then step into the light drawn on,
With grateful heart and purpose true.
