There Is Something About Morning...

 sometimes days just don't do what we want them to,

but there's something about morning that makes hope and dream feel new!

Psalm 107:31
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion 

and His wonders to the sons of men.

There is something about morning that makes Time feel fresh and new

Sparkling scarf of stars adorning every frond and blade with dew

Darkling hope reborn, that seemed so worn and full of holes last eve

There is something about morning that makes witnesses believe

There is purpose in the pursuit of love’s higher beck and call

In the mercy that metes moments after stumble-slip-and-fall

In the Hand that gives though oft we take without even a nod

There is something about morning that draws mankind close to God

As our numbered days are dwindling, where the flicker of Has Been

Kindles substance of things hoped for; evidence of things not seen  

Where faith's wings would fear the heights that it must rise to now and then

But there’s something about morning that makes us fly once again
