Abundance Masterpiece

Poem-a-day challenge day 7: For today's prompt, write an abundance poem

But do not weep, no one can keep

Night’s undoing at bay

Upon the east dawn spreads a feast

Abundant with Today...

A smile, a bird, a gentle word

Dear little girl or boy

A nature nook, a brimming brook

Rouses abundant joy

A cup of tea, a hug, a tree

Eager for spring’s seamstress

Wakens a woo that turns into

Abundant happiness

Dream-streets to roam, page for a poem

So many yet to write

Can tune the part that thrills the heart

With abundant delight

The Hand that brings to little things

The speechlessness of awe

Opens our eyes in meek surprise

To love’s abundant law

…where He bestows to thorns, a rose

To winter’s waning, spring

In flowers, frogs and puppy dogs

Abundant anthems ring

Like rolling seas, life spills with ease

Across dusk’s shadow-shore

Gold-gray, blush-blue all meld into

Abundant worlds of yore

But do not weep, no one can keep

Night’s undoing at bay

Upon the east dawn spreads a feast

Abundant with Today

Where faith lifts up hope’s battered cup

Where Mercies/wonders never cease

But fill time’s frame to earn the name;

Psalm 86:5,15
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; 

and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee…

Lam.3:22-24

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
    his mercies never come to an end;
 they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    “therefore I will hope in him.”
