Our Lord awakens the earth with
The sweet sound of song birds
And the sound of a roosters crow
The sun rises and the dew evaporates
Mankind scurries to greet the new day
With a prayer of thanksgiving

Children wake and wipe the sleep
From their little eyes
Then soon hurry off to play
Or off to school

Squirrels run around gathering food
And suddenly they run away
To search for more elsewhere

The clattering of plates can be heard
As dinner upon the table is served
Before folks know it
Night-time will fall

The sun is setting
The sky is multi-colored
With orange, gray, and blue

The birds fly quickly
To the safety of brush or trees
Calling after one another
To come home now the day is done

All the world should now be ready
For a restful night but let us not forget:
To give our Lord thanks
And praise; for another
Picture perfect day!
