Morning Prayers


MORNING PRAYERS

As the sun breaks through the morning fog, I take a breath of the fresh morning air.

The Quiet echos remnants of night's past, as a doe silently wanders through a bed of sweet grass.

My heart is calm, my soul warm-- for this is a touch of heaven.

The day springs forth a re-burst of life, as morning prayers ring out melodies from branches high.

Time could stop at this moment of perpetual beauty and I would remain content with my life.

This is dawn, a time filled with the wonder of God-sent pastoral hues and grace.
