The day was one so special that the morning seemed to sing
The dew of night departing with the birds on playing wing
The roses in their beauty gave to bees in gentle kiss
A warming sun, some pleasure, which a dreamer for did wish

The day was one so special that no other could compare
The light unto my heart was warm as love residing there

My body ached for nothing but the touch of morning’s hand
And all the chorus singing in the light of beauties band

The day was one so special that I woke before my time
Met day and night exchanging parts to bring this day of mine
Then slowly watched unfolding all the scenes which make the morn
The awakening of wonderment, the view of splendour born  

Its warmth consumed my wanting; its beauty took my heart
The morning took my cares away as nature played her part
I gave myself the pleasure to encounter what was meant
I thanked the lord and nature for the morning they had sent

Hi Rick
Hey, I love this. It has an easy flow that reflects the gentle & easy dawn that I can see in my mind's eye - I am on the back verandah & can see the  picture you have painted.
Ta...love Lynda

this makes me want to stay awake until morning comes...I'm a night person, it's 230am here, and I will sleep soon....but not if I keep reading this poem...

I really enjoyed this, I work permanent nights driving a truck & see the day dawning each working day & have for 15 years & I still enjoy the "experience" & your poem reflects it wonderfully

Dear Dixie, thanks for the bump up, always nice to see your name as a replier, take care my friend.

Mick, great to see you here, and thank you for your reply, the mornings are a wonderful time of the day, I am glad that you could associate the words with your experiences.
