Greet the Morning--Poetry

I am a morning person. My husband was not--I guess opposites do attract.

I like mornings because they always herald a new beginning.The Bible (particularly Psalms) is full of admonitions to praise God in the morning, and I try to do that. At my age, I praise him for one more day....

One of my favorite poems about morning and the day which follows:

Morning is
a new sheet of paper
for you write on.

Whatever you want to say
all day
until night
folds it up
and throws it away.

The bright words, and the dark words
are gone
until dawn
and a new day
to write on.
