Prayer Promptings At Dawn

PRAYERFUL PROMPTINGS AT DAWN

In the stillness I awake in the early morn,
An inner peace gently fills my being,
No voices do I hear,
But to prayer I am silently drawn.

Each dawn new words create in my mind,
Today I awoke and the following I found.

Creator of the universe watch over me,
Each moment of this new day,
Protect my husband and family,
As we face the trials along our way.

Never allow me to ignore those in need,
The old, the sick, sad, or weary,
Help me to kindly sow the seeds,
Of care and love sincerely.

From whence these words come I can only guess,
Prayerful promptings bring great peacefulness,
I write them down, as each new one comes,
For in fleeting moments they forever are gone.

I always look forward to each new dawn,
When in the stillness, new lines will be born.

When prompted words are written down,
I feel I now must sleep,
Rocked by the chorus of the dawn,
I drift into the deep.

The wild birds gently serenade,
Me into peaceful dreams,
Filled with funny escapades,
And many pleasant things.

I awake again around about eight,
And start my busy day,
I work outdoors `till very late,
Midst natures fine display.

I work out in the gardens,
Get rid of all the weeds,
Pick some of the household crops,
And enjoy for evening meal.

Their freshness is unique indeed,
Their flavour just first class,
Working in the outdoors,
Makes me so relaxed.

Writing is my first love,
And gardening a close second,
Tonight, so tired I close my eyes,
`Till at dawn my first love beckons.
