Morning Beauty

I love the early morning
when silence fills the air.
I walk along the roadway
and it matters not where.
The beauty of the dawn
will put my mind at ease.
I watch the birds go flying
and moving with the breeze.
They seem to know exactly
just where they need to be.
I listen to their chirping
as I look up at the tree.
Can this beauty last forever
if I hold it in my mind?
It's what we take for granted
But it's what we need to find.
Let's stop and take a moment
to rejoice and be forgiving.
And always add some sunshine
to the world in which we're living.
