Each Blessed Morning
© 2004 Linda L. Dowd

I rise each blessed morning with a prayer in my heart,
For a day full of promise and a brand new start.
With chances to correct any wrongs I may have done,
And to hear the sweet refrains of songs yet to be sung.

Golden rays of sunshine soak the inner depths of me
Releasing all aggression and setting spirits free.
I glow in the knowing I’m a spark of all Creation
It matters not my creed or race ~ my nation or my station.

Twinkles in the skies at night are my hopes and dreams,
Mother Moon wraps them up in bows of silver beams.
Warm and gentle breezes are kisses blown by God,
While bounty and abundance rise up from Nature’s sod.

Tranquil rains are cleansing and replenish things gone dry,
Living oceans wave at us as they go rolling by.
The foliage of our woodlands enrich the air we breathe,
There’s wonder in the beauty of webs that spiders weave.

There is the loving feeling when held in warm embrace
And our overwhelming joy in a child’s smiling face.
There is delight in viewing the unfolding of a flower
And the sweet release of fragrance can perfume every hour.

An inner peace prevails when we find our inner still
And in the handing of the reins to the Universal Will.
Listen to the Guidance as you walk your way in life,
Then serenity will wash away all worries, fears, and strife.

I rise each blessed morning with a prayer in my heart,
For a day full of promise and a brand new start.
With chances to correct any wrongs I may have done,
And to hear the sweet refrains of songs yet to be sung.

Oh, I really like this entire write, but can see and feel this part.

Sue, your wings may be little, but your heart most definitely is not!

~ Your generous response bears that out!

Love & Light,

Linda - I always know when emotion of sorrow sweeps over me, I can read your warm joyful words and be inspired - touch me, perhaps some will rub off

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

You are a delight to this reader and to any other stopping by.
You make bouquets of words that would seem a butterfly.
Their color is the essence of a bright and sunny day
Would you like to comme with me to phantoms land and play?

Susan ~

Susan, your spirit is too sweet to be smited with sorrow. I will touch you with mine that sings ~ in spite of the fact that my computer crashed this week and I am popping in from various friends' computers! Oh, well. I trust my next one will have all the bells and whistles and allow me to make my posts more interesting to look at.

Sending you lots of warm, loving, healing, kinship hugs,
Linda

Dearest Marge ~

That is indeed, the highest compliment that you could pay me! It pleases me to no end to know that my poem could add some light to your days after all that you have been through recently.

Knowing that my printed poem is hanging in your honorable home, gives added meaning to my writing of poetry. Thank you, Dear One.

It takes a beautiful heart to see half as much as you do, so I am guessing you define the word each time you open your eyes and smile.

A very lovely write and one to live by for sure.

One must first have a "beautiful heart" to be able to recognize it in another...

AT ONE WITH THE MOTHS ~

I find it very gratifying when a reader finds my poetry spiritually up-lifting. It is my belief that our doing that for each other raises the vibration of our blue planet!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply!

Love & Spiritual Light,
EA
