Awake before sunrise the first one to stir,
A time to sip coffee, stroke Lucy’s soft fur.
It’s so pleasant to capture these moments in rhyme,
Share them with others who’ll read them sometime.
These snippets of time that I capture in verse
Aren’t written for money to put in a purse,
Or simply to fill up a page in a book.
I write them for joy, but I let others look.
Perhaps they’ll help others escape for a while,
Sit back and relax and perhaps even smile,
Let go of the pain and the stress of the day.
May the rhyme and the rhythm refresh in some way.
I pray as you read you find peace in your heart,
May you know the Lord’s blessings that never depart.
