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.

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.
