Morning Joy

As the morning softly wakens
to the birds sweet early call
she graces me with beauty
as she lights upon my wall

My gaze draws to my window sill
as sleep falls from my eyes
my blessing is the joy I feel
to see the morning rise

Looking toward the heavens
thankful for this day of days
my joy is turning golden
with the dawns first splendid rays





Thought I'd give you a little sunshine to balance out the dark!  Love Robin

Just what I need this morning since it is solid cloudy this morning. God gives mountain top experiences but we also get the valleys and the gloom sometimes. Sara
