Dawn Blessings

Isn’t it a blessing to wake up

To the singing of cuckoos at dawn?

Isn’t it a joy to rise up hearing

The cooing of doves at the lawn?

Isn’t it a blessing to open the eyes

With prayerful words in mind?

Isn’t it a blessing to be breathing

And glorify the Almighty Lord kind?

Isn’t it a blessing to think good thoughts

Happy reality around that can create?

With a basket of blessings in hands

The people and the air to permeate?

Blessings I hold in my palms plenty

and more I will receive living the day

Isn’t it a blessing I can appreciate

And have a voice “thank you” to say?
