In the stillness of the morning,
As dawn ushers in a new day,
A sparkling blanket of moisture,
Replaces the night's deep gray.
Nature is waking around me,
As I near the tranquil pond,
Ducks in perfect formation,
Fly into the great beyond.
Somewhere in the distance,
I hear a rooster crow,
Bunnies at play in the meadow,
Warmed by the sun's soft glow.
Frogs are gracefully leaping,
As I near the waters edge,
Cattails lining the shoreline,
Make an impressive hedge.
A turtle slowly trudges,
Along the mossy bank,
Further down a little fawn,
Alert as he timidly drank.
Lilacs with blossoms withered,
Seem reaching for the light,
While roses on a trailing vine,
Cast shades of delicate white.
This must be a taste of heaven,
A glimpse of our Lord's backyard,
Where doves are gently cooing,
As angels graciously guard.
Oh how peaceful this morning,
On this day You've started anew,
Refreshing my soul on this path,
As I walked hand in hand with You.
