Each morning, I rise and begin a new day.
Yesterday’s done, I have new words to find,
New thoughts that are brewing with new things to say,
New stirrings within bubble up to my mind.
A fresh cup of coffee each morning I brew,
Settle down in my chair, Lucy curled in my lap.
As I pray and I read, and I find something new,
Miss Lucy’s content to just finish her nap.
What keeps my mind active and eager to write,
When I could be still sleeping all snug in my bed?
I guess I’m compelled to be sharing God’s light,
In the hope that these verses might one day be read,
Perhaps entice others to open God’s Word,
And open their hearts, so God’s message is heard.
Good reminder that today is a new day with opportunities for we great things and let us use this time wisely, in each our own way.
