“sunrise poem” was first published on August 28, 2012 at my second blog, Poems From Psalms And Nature.

light

the gift of seasons

still having the faith
to keep trying when
we could have stayed
discouraged many times

(though sometimes we need
a rest and can trust
our part of this work
to others for a time)

the miracle of being here 

saying our thank yous
to God

and to one another

this day
