THE GLORY OF THE DAWN

As the sun rises over the bay

On the silvery waters shines the sun's ray.

Birds begin to sing to greet the dawn,

And the dewdrops disappear from the lawn.


People get up in homes all around,

As the new day awakens the town.

The bustle begins and time marches on,

Oh, how glorious is the dawn.


Mothers rush to prepare breakfast,

As children get ready - no one wants to be last,

Then its off to work and off to school,

To learn some more from the day's golden rule.


The day is in full swing by then,

The dawn long ago had come to an end.

But tomorrow it will return once again,

With sunshine or with blessing in the form of rain.


Every day we are happy and blessed,

For the dawn gives the earth its dress.

The covers it with sunshine, rain or breezy days,

And best of all the sun's warm rays.


So think each day of the joy that come,

When the dawn sets time on the run.

Appreciate that you awake to another day,

Be thankful and give love in every way.
