Early In The Morning
It’s my favorite time of the day.
Sitting at the breakfast nook table.
Watching the birds outside play.
It’s so misty I can barely see the maple.
As a light rain falls, the birds are chirping away.
The dog is looking out the window.
He is watching for a cat gone astray.
He barks, though they be quick and nimble.
On my second cup of coffee & toast.
A little butter and jam makes it extra good.
I eat little for breakfast. Different than most.
I suppose I could eat more, like I should.
The newspaper opened to the word jumble.
I try to figure out the jumbled word.
I really feel warm and humble.
I have spent my time already with His word.
It is a time to give thanks .for all the blessings.
Time to take a look within.
It is not a time to be guessing.
Lord please guide my footsteps today from all sin.
