Each morning at dawn
God blesses my front porch
With the golden rays of his sunshine
Through the tops of Lopbolly trees
The wind play a harp
Carrying sweet melodies
On the breeze across my front porch
  
After the rush of morning routines
I sit and drink a sip of nature
At the dining table
Of my front porch

While I relax and ponder
Cardinals and Blue Jays
Gather to play around
My front porch.

Their chipperie songs
Remind me each day
How I mustn't forget
To give thanks
For all those things
I never
Even had to ask
Because
He provided them
Free
With
No strings
Attached
From
My
Front
Porch.

Beautiful message from a thankful heart.  I sit at my dinette table looking out the bow window thanking Him for the towering pine trees, gently falling snow, or summer flowers I view from there.  Like your front porch, this is my favorite place.

Georgia's on my mind!  I used to sit on my chair there in the summer and watch the sun come up! Most peaceful times I've had, and oh boy do I miss those moments!

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.

Yes a lovely poem.  I sit and look out my front window, now that the rhodies are beginning to bloom and the grass has been mowed.  Joyce

How serene this setting must be. To be blessed with early morning beauty in the presence of God, is truly a gift.
Very nice poem.

I guess I didn't back to check on this poem, thanks for bringing it up again, and if it was put in the newsletter, or being considered I thank you, that is wonderful. Glad you enjoyed.
