A dove is cooing from a tree behind the domicile

The sun peeks over the mountains and I listen and watch and smile

There is dew on the trees that is caressed by a gentle morning breeze

The city has not yet wakened and the silence adds to the beauty one sees

I walk along slowly and gaze at the white clouds floating in the skies

And thank God for the wonderful show he puts on at sunrise

As the sun slowly climbs upward and soon becomes brighter

The skies in the west change hues and become lighter

The city soon begins to awaken and create a sound of its own

Thus I am reminded once more that I have not alone

But a part of life and of all God’s creation

I and the sun, moon and creatures thereon are a part of the father’s formation

Let us rejoice and live this and every day to show the Master our appreciation
