I Looked to God This Morning

I looked to God this morning
And thanked Him for this day.
I asked for Him to guide me
In all I do and say.
The promise of beginnings
Amidst our new farewells,
Greets renewed assurance
When questions would assail.
I know my Father loves me.
He cares for one and all.
Oh Father, ever with me,
May I be faithful to Your call.
Rising

Cooling breeze upon warm earth
Soft mist rising
Muted echoes of life and motion
Within the mist arising
Moist caress upon bare skin
Cooled by quiet rising
Settled fog now gently stirring
Answers dawn’s slow rising
Warming touch upon earth’s chill
Awaken to day rising
Watery droplets and sighing wind
Life’s voices ever rising
