I awake in dawns early light,
I just lay and listen
And I hear the glory of the birds,
Dawns wonderful chorus welcoming me
Into this new day in my life.
I arise and walk downstairs,
Open the door into the garden.
The birds raise their voices
Moving from the overture
Into the first melody of today’s symphony.
I know that this day music will be with me,
The loud movement of the morning
Into the slow movement of afternoon,
Showing me all the glory of nature’s sounds.
When the day is over I sit in the garden
The light of the day fading,
The symphony changing into slow beauty.
I go up to bed and lay there
Listening to natures lullaby
As I fall into a dream filled sleep
Knowing all is well,
And it will be an even better day tomorrow.
