A New Day

Here is another one of my granny’s precious treasures. Enjoy!

A NEW DAY

The day begins and all is new

The sun is shining very bright

Up above the sky is so blue

And not even a cloud is in sight.

No one knows what the new day holds

We can only hope for the best.

As into each life our Father scolds

The good that will stand the test.

We are given courage by the things we see

Even when on a bent knee.
We praise god in the early morning.
As we watch each new day dawning.

The budding flowers open up to the sun

And as I behold each lovely sight

Another new day has just begun

And all this beauty makes my heart light.

In the pecan tree the crows are crowing

At the back door the cat is meowing.

I hear the singing of birds and buzzing of bees

And see the squirrels jumping through the trees.
