Morning Quiet
There is nothing like the morning
when the sun is coming up;
The dew is on each blade of grass
and on the buttercup.
It is the quiet corner
of the long and busy day -
A time to look and listen
and hear answers when we pray.
In morning's gentle stillness
there are whispers, soft and clear -
A definite reminder
that great things are ever near.
I love this quiet corner
of the long and busy day;
It gives me strength and courage
as I travel on my way.
