MORNING   PRAYER  

Do you see each day as a blessing?

Do you have the habit 
of looking out your morning window?

Do you smile when you see 
the scattering rays of light 
that landed on green leaves 
and brown branches 
on your favorite tree - 
when you spot a black cat
on a big blue plastic garbage can 
watching the birds
and one more sunrise.

Or do you almost have to have died 
before you pinch yourself 
for the gift of one more day of life - 
to live it to the full.

Thank you God 
for this new day
of life and love.

Surprise me God.
Surprise me God today with great delight

I promise you 
I'll be waiting;
I'll be watching 
like that cat.

Thank You, God. Thank You.
