Morning Skies

by Janet Foor

 

 The morning sky is drenched in gold

With clouds that look like honied milk

Then miles of pink and blue immerge.

like floating ribbons soft as silk.

 

At crack of dawn, my world awakes.

A songbird sings his melody.

Winds whisper through the leafy trees.

The breath of God – serenity.

 

As daybreak sweeps away the night --

stars fade before the bright sunrise.

Pure beauty in this gilded gift

of love He shares in morning skies.

 

The sunbeams warm the chilly earth

across the hills and vistas grand.

A joy to watch the world transform.

A message from His mighty hand.

 

I lift my longing gaze to see

a change in His kaleidoscope.

From baby blue to bold sapphire.

His heaven fills my heart with hope.

 

The morning sky -- a treasured prize

that brings me peace and happiness.

The unknown lies in each new dawn.

Familiar yet – mysterious.

Sometimes, when things aren't going very well, and even when things are going great, we need to step back and appreciate the beauty that is given to us all.

Psalm 8:1 - Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
Psalm 8:3 - When I consider your heavens, the work of your finger, the moon and the stars which you have set in place.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
