When first I woke, I didn't know
The lovely gift GOD would bestow.
A perfect day awaited me,
With golden leaves on every tree
And flowers opening to stare
As sunshine warmed the morning air.
I'd never seen a bluer sky
Or whiter clouds go drifting by.
I'd never heard a sweeter song
From birds who chorused all day long.
Each hour held it's own delight
To fill my senses and my sight.
The sun blew kisses as it went
On down the western firmament
And threw bright colored nets to snare
Unwary stars that sparkled there.

What a wonderful way to start my day! This is delightful..Ellie

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

Very descriptive! One to make me sigh as I watch the snow cover the ground and everything else around it, once again. LOL

These lines I especially liked!
