New Every Morning


Sweet sunshine sings the dawn of day.
I rise up to watch and pray.
Scales drop from mine eyes as dew.
As fresh ferns, I renew.
Each moment is a gift from thee.
With humble heart I cry my plea.




Lamentations 3

  1. I really like this poem too. Brings a vivid image to my mind of walking through a forest with its ferns and dew covered moss. Rays of sunshine peeking through the branches.

    The only change (if any!) would be to the last line.. what do you think of "With thankful praise I bow the knee"?

  2. It is actually not the original last line. This poem is actually only a short segment of a poem I thought of about a year ago... when I was typing it in here I decided I didn't want to put the whole poem in and just threw that line in, because the original is too personal. I am still thinking of a more fitting last line.... Good suggestion, though.
