Wing a Little Wink

Dew christens morning grass underneath my feet
          Chilled senses in the mist, fill of something sweet
Sun teases its reveal, tempting me to pause
                   Palms in a flurried rush offer their applause

Feathered friends of every sort wing a little wink
          Chirpers as they like to sing, hush to take a drink
Touching, as I stop to chat, flowers in a cart
   Lending ear to neighbor’s woes, bid to touch my heart
 
As I walk the paths and trails that colorize my town
         I could not for even just one second, wear a frown
Skies of blue agreeable to nature’s every whim
               Compliment a crystal lake inviting me to swim
 
On my walk each morning, as I begin to shine
       First remember gratitude for everything that’s mine
Then as every morning joy furthers into view
                        Better am I able to love everything I do
