~ Watch the Sunrise ~


The day dawned cool and foggy,
As I stepped outside my door,
To take an early morning walk,
Like so many times before.

I walked on over to the park,
Just to see what I could see.
I sat and watched two squirrels,
As they came down an oak tree.

They seemed to have no worries,
As they scampered on the ground.
But just as fast as they came down,
They were back up with a bound.

The sun was just coming up
As I walked on down the road.
Then I stood there in the stillness,
To watch it’s glory unfold.

There’s something about the sunrise,
When the first rays start to show,
That makes everything so peaceful;
I just love watching it , so.

I came upon the graveyard,
And stopped to say a prayer,
For the ones that will miss them,
Because now they’re sleeping there.

The time, it was getting late,
As I headed back toward home.
But I love my early morning walks,
And tomorrow, again I’ll roam.
