Dawning of a Day

Psalm 97:11

As the light dawns for the righteous man,
Joy to the pure in heart living God's plan;
The best time is an early morning to walk,
Being able to look overhead to see a hawk;
Sun breaking over the horizon, what a sight,
Such a power to see of this bursting light;
A sight to behold truly a real spectacle,
A new day dawning seem as a miracle;
A perfect time as well to see a rising sun,
A growing glowing ball, what joyous fun;
Catching daybreak, feeling the first rays,
Long shafts of streaming golden arrays;
Beams of light falling on a chilled face,
A feeling as if touched by God's grace;
Rejuvenating my body being born anew,
As God's splendor of this day's debut;
A reminder of when it has not come yet,
The day of no dawning and no sunset;
The warmth of God looking down on me,
No more days looking dark and gloomy.
