It's morning and a yellow sky Lights up the east and draws the eye, To where the sun will soon appear. The songs of all the birds I hear Seem jubilant and joyful too, At coming through the night to view Another sunrise and to sing Of happy things the day will bring And as the color starts to grow, The world takes on a golden glow, That seems intense and quite unreal. I look around me and I feel This day is different from the rest And by the time it paints the west, I will have savored every hour And brought some secret dream to flower. With heart-felt gratitude I pray To God who gave this lovely day! Betty Lou Hebert Published by Drury's Publishing 1996 [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 05-14-2001).] |

God gives us these lovely days and we don't always appreciate them. Today is rainy and cool but the green is so brilliant with the raindrops it is quite beautiful. You wrote another lovely poem. Joyce |

*Smiles* The poem was beautiful, and the rhyme scheme very catchy. As said in an earlier reply, it does give you a wonderfully vivid image. =o} "The only thing that boggles the mind is the mind itself." |
