As I lay awake at breaking
dawn
A new day makes its
debut
Yesterday is but a
memory
Just now - problems are
very few
In the stillness of the
atmosphere
I contemplate what lies
ahead
Opportunities are mine to
claim
Before another day has fled
In the distance, birds are
chirping
That's how they chose to
greet the day
Is here a lesson to be
learned
Is their outlook the proper
way
Perhaps if priorities are
aligned
To begin each day with a
smile
The negative would be
minimized
Many problems we could
reconcile
Lord, help me attain a better
view
Of situations that I
face
May a lesson from the little
birds
In my plans, - - find a
place
Colan L. Hiatt’s ultimate
prayer and desire is that any and all poetic writings that he endeavors to
present, would depict Christ as "the answer" to life's problems. May
they offer hope and encouragement to pilgrims along the road of life.
Beautiful words full of hope that convey such a positive, peaceful and blissful atmosphere! I particularly loved the two final lines "may a lesson from the little birds...find a place".

Dear Colan,
ReplyDeleteI think we can really learn something from the animals, they are honest and unprejudiced. Thank you for your positive words in this lovely poem.
Best wishes,
