Morning Sunlight

Morning Sunlight

Morning sunlight ripples across the rivers surface

A picture perfect moment

That goes unnoticed

Everyone is in a hurry

Never taking a moment

To take in the beauty

We take these things for granted

Not thinking that someday these luxuries may not be here

What if morning came without sun?

Then will we stop and notice?

Taking time to hear the bird’s story

That he sings to us each morning

Instead of hitting the snooze

Open yourself to the world outside

Appreciate what is waiting outside the door
