Why do I sing?
For the same reason
The birds sing
Its an extension
Of the breath of life
That fills them each morning
When they see the sun rise
Why do I smile?
For the same reason
The cats purr
Its as natural
as yawning when tired
He purrs when a contented sigh
Is soothing his bones
Why do I dance?
For the same reason
The dogs chase
Its as the body
Is an outpouring of thought
Of delighted joy
Bubbling from their paws
Why do I pray?
For the same reason
The morning dawns
Its an overwhelming need
To thank the creator
Who condensed all of this delicate beauty
In one span of a moment
I am one of God's creations
Ahhh,,,But only one
Each reflects
His intelligence
Creativity
Compassion
And joy
In today's moment
