Do
you ever wake up too early, or perhaps not ever fall asleep? This was how I felt
one early morning, and times since, but I like how the thoughts that came to me
helped put life in perspective. No pat-answer solutions, or three-easy-steps,
but God does penetrate the ozone layer at times. May you find time to rest in
Him this weekend.

MORNING
HYMN
by Ferree
Hardy
I wake
before dawn
and in the
dark
begin the
song
of ancient
ways
and
steadfast praise
With each
note
the darkness
fades
a rooster
crows,
and spider
sews
one last
strand on her
dewdrop
doily
Birds
arouse
They join
in
Mourning
dove,
Robin,
wren
Singing of
You,
the Giver of
all
Your goodness freshens
it brings
cool hint
of snow and
mint
to
salt-stained skin
Red-brimmed
eyes
and
sadness-fevered
soul
Father of
health
and life
itself
with love
beyond
the
stratosphere
and
faithfulness that
fills the
sky
Your glory
orbs
the earth we
hear
And wrapped
in shimmering
clouds
it reaches
down to
collect the
songs
of one weak
woman
and
birds
Beautiful, Ferree!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon, I'm so glad you appreciated it. Thanks for letting me know. May all our mornings begin in praise to our Lord!
ReplyDeleteThat was wonderful!
