Quiet Moments

It's 5:30 in the morning
and everyone is asleep,
I pour my cup of coffee
for quiet moments do I seek.
~*~
It's a time to wonder
about the brand new day,
a time for soft words to God,
as I sit and pray.
~*~
A time to reflect in events of the past
a coming to terms with emotions at last
of seeking advice and strength for the way,
to help someone out there who needs me today.
~*~
I look out my window at the breaking of dawn
and wonder in amazement at the squirels on my lawn.
I wish them a good morning, and hand them a treat
a small little peanut for each of them to eat.
~*~
As these quiet moments come to an end
I'm thankful to God for the time that I spend
in peace and serenity, I have found my place,
a time for such moments will show on my face.
~*~
A smile for all that will come my way
and love and hugs to help make their day.

I really enjoyed your poem.  I get up at 5:00 a.m. every day to give my son medicine and spend about half an hour just communing, so to speak, with God and my surroundings. So, this is very familiar to me. Nice write.

You most assuredly have found your special place to be alone with God and nature.  What a beautiful place to begin your day focusing on other's needs.   -Bob

Oh how I love to see dawn break in the morning, the freshness, quietness and first bird sounds.  You've described it so well including the joyful peace in whispered prayer.  Lovely piece.
