Silent Dawn
by Marie Paradise
I'm grateful for the silent time
To think and make a plan
When the morning world is mine
I do because I can.
I love the quietude of dawn
Before the sun's completely up
I rub my eyes and give a yawn
And fill once more my coffee cup.
In the misty dawn
Sets my very soul aquaking
Like windblown grass of lawn.
With the springtime birds of song
The robins come to early greet me
The blue jays also come along.
They're a beauty to behold
I'll not be broke for any reason
Because the mornings are my gold.
The morning songs of birds awakening
The springtime morns especially treat me
Thank God for mornings, whatever season
