Grateful for the gift of waking each day.

Blessed, I am, with this gift of a new day,
For some, this morning light they did not meet,
But I stand here, under the sun’s first warming ray,
Grateful, for the rhythm of my heart, its steady beat.

Each sunrise, a promise, each breeze, a gentle caress,
In Southern California, life’s beauty is always on display,
I am a humble guest in nature’s grandness,
Grateful for the gift of waking each day.
