INSPIRATION IN FRONT OF ME<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

BY BARBARA K<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

A CHERYL\u2019S PALS COLLAB<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Each day as I awaken<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and open up my eyes,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

as Day meets Night<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and welcomes the Dawn,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and also welcomes me,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

all I have to do is look around<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to know how what I see inspires me<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and in so many ways.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

The sun as it says farewell<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to the moon and greets me<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

with its warming rays;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the birds welcoming the Dawn<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and singing the sweetest song;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the roses in the garden<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

with their mantles of glistening dew \u2013<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

all of this (and more) inspires me<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

as I step into my day.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And along the way<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

throughout my day,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the people that I meet (here),<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the words you write,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the inspiring thoughts,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the pictures painted across<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the canvas of my heart.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

You open my eyes that I may see<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

so many possibilities in front of me;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

you help release my thoughts<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and help to set them free;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

your thoughts brighten up the day,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and shelter me from the dark;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and through your words<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I can so often feel<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

the mountain breezes<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and see flowers<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

in full bloom.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

So to you, <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and to all the beauty I see,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

as I reflect back on those times<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

along the way of each and every day,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I can truly say these words and mean them,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

“You are my inspiration”<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

in so many wonderful ways.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
