dawning joy

joy cometh in the morning

first blush of dim light

tinge of warm color

as sunrise shifts north on the horizon

toward blossoming spring

exultation for nature’s world

open caring and respect for humans

we care again for others

exult in nature’s incredible world

reach in awe toward blossoming spring

as dawn shifts toward us on the horizon

with tinges of warm color

brightening rays of sunlight

joy cometh in the morning
