When sunlight suddenly appears on the horizon
Recognize that a new day is about to be born
It places itself in our hands to do with as we wish.

I stood on my porch early this morning
Reveling in the beginning of another day,
The sunrise was like an infant a-borning
I stood on my porch early this morning
The birds were greeting the new dawning 
I thought I would have it no other way,
I stood on my porch early this morning
Reveling in the beginning of another day.

Sunrise is nature’s fair warning
A splendid new day a-borning,
Golden chance to become again
How I know this, I can’t explain,

Sunset is nature’s sweet goodbye,
Another day has passed on by
Golden chances taken or left,
Sometimes the heart is sad, bereft
When many things have gone awry.

Servant Heart

For your grace like fresh borning dews
Your ready handmaid, scarred and flawed,
Servant to the servants of God.

You gift me music, ministry,
Writing rhymes from soul felt pleas,
To walk the rough roads you have trod,
Servant to the servants of God.

Let me be less, Lord, you be more,
This my prayer – this I implore –
A servant’s heart, humbled and awed,
Servant to the servants of God...

Still waters smile sunset bliss
Meadows glow in mists of rose

Borning stars enchant wane light
Twilight blows burnished kisses
