Dawn a new day is breaking Open my eyes to the beauty As the Roosters, Cardinals, and Doves eyes open Tiny crescent moon relishing in its appearing Birds sweep across the pale-blue morning sky To the beat of coo-coo-coo As the Doves communicate to their love Striated clouds greet the sun Sun takes the gray away so there is apricot on the horizon Gold...
