I saw a golden sunrise,

That I could hold in just one hand.

A silver mist hung in the air

As I walked along the strand.

Then I watched the tiny fishing boats

Sail out to meet the Sun.

As seabirds followed in their wake

A new day had begun.

I stopped beside a crystal stream

And stared into it's race.

Then with cupped hands

I lifted cooling water to my face.

It's taste was sweet upon my tongue

And soothing to my lips.

As Sun kissed, sparkling diamonds

Ran through my finger tips.

Climbing to a hill top high

Where I surveyed the scene.

So peaceful there as I sat down

Beneath the shady green.

All the beauty there before me,

And all my eyes could see.

Mother Nature's miracles

That she had shown to me.

Now the sky is turning red

And the Moon is on the rise

The world turns on,and soon

A billion stars fill up the sky.

I see the brightest, Morning star,

That slowly brings the dawn.

And so it comes full circle

Another day is born.
