Each morning when I wake up,
God’s Gifts are there to see.
The beauty of a sunrise,
the warmth of sun set free.
The chirping of a songbird,
in calling to its mate.
The flutter of a butterfly,
going nowhere as though it’s late.
The fragrance of a rose bud,
still covered with morning dew.
All colors of a mid-day rainbow,
colored red, pink and other hue.
The taste of milk and honey,
to grace the morning meal.
The touch of a gentle breeze,
added emotions that I feel.
The sense of inner awareness,
that a hand has touched this earth.
God’s Gifts are there to see,
given man that God gave birth.
