Still I Stand and Wonder

Still I stand and wonder Chickadees are singing on an early morning breeze Tickling the branches of the yawning maple trees Morning glories open as they wake to greet the sun Rising in the east a sign that night is finally done Roosters say good morning on a fence post as they crow Pastels paint the heavens in a wondrous dawning glow Still I stand and wonder at this beauty that I see Knowing that my day won’t start till you are here with me Good morning Soupers

An awesome early morning picture you have visualized into words Chris. I can almost see each stage, the birds awakening on the maple trees, the Morning Glories opening to the sun, and the Rooster. But most of all the romance at the end. A great 7 - really enjoyed it

Maria, thank you. Your kindness is always a gift to me, like the sunrise or the maple trees budding, your words are beautiful to me as is this nature that I write about. Thank you again my friend.

Thank you so much Chris for such a cheerful way to start the morning; we are forever washed away in mournful rain here, so with the Chickadees, morning glories and rooster's crows I'll swim the day away:) Amitiés

Good Morning Chris. The beauty that you see are the chickadees tickling the branches. I'm laughing because I call my youngest niece and nephew chickadees. As always you grace us with such a way and experience to start the day. The poetic way.... Have a wonderful morning and enjoy the pastels. Well done entirely.

So sweet and tender, needing your love beside you to appreciate the dawn. I've seen many more sunrises than I have sunsets, and I believe they're even more beautiful. Nicely written and good morning to you, Chris.
