The Dawning
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 poem by Laura yoder written in the dawn of this morning
