The Morning Sky

I woke up this morning a little after five,

Feeling Blessed by the fact that I was alive.

The star shined bright in the pre-dawn sky,

Blessed again that I saw it with my own eye.

Ever bright by the reflection of the sun,

Knowing that in fact a new day had begun.

The vastness of the Universe and the little part we\'re in,

Expanding outward, I wouldn\'t know where to begin. 

Seems everywhere you look stars are everyplace,

Looking back at you and shining in your face.

The beauty of this place and even where you look,

I can\'t explain the Miracle and what it must have took.

Take it and embrace don\'t let it pass you by,

And treasure all the beauty in the morning sky!
