ON A MORNING LIKE THIS (with photo)
ON A MORNING LIKE THIS
On a morning
that could easily have been
just like any other,
we awoke before dawn,
before the birds’ symphony,
before we even had a chance
to hear their morning song.
The pre-dawn darkness
that met our steps
didn’t deter our resolve
as we silently got
our things together
and headed to the beach.
And as the clouds
began to break,
the brilliant torch
of early morn
once again lighting up
the eastern sky,
I could only stand
in wonder and awe
upon that beach,
giving thanks for this day
and what I saw;
giving thanks for the health
that allowed us to be here
and for the family
and friends
we hold so very dear.
