The mornings bless this valley
With a flood of golden light,
That lasts until the evening
Has been swallowed by the night
And then the dark is lessened
By the blaze of stars o'er all.
By moonlight in it'season
And bright colors in the fall,
That dress each tree in glory
And you feel so glad to be
A part of this creation
That's so beautiful to see.
The purple shadows deepen,
While the last light fades away.
I always thank our Maker
For the blessings of the day!

Betty; this is exquisite! A beautiful poem of serenity and peace... Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

This reminds of of some of Helen Steiner Rice's poetry...flowing is such splendid simplicity. It's beautiful. Thank you.
