Charles Garcia - New Dawn

Have you ever taken the time to watch a new dawn being born,
the sunrise begins in the eastern sky?

The silhouette of the mountaintop, the makings of the clouds.
Varieties of colors to warm our hearts,
for they are as cotton balls floating in all directions,
the jet stream decides.

The sun shows her might, as earth rotates on its axis,
orbits around the sun,

Notice the birds are scrambling for the first meal of the day,
The ducks ruffling up their feathers after diving,
see what they can find,
the squirrels leave their burrows where they stash their rewards,
seems to forget what they had in mind.

The deer, they are interesting too! I find, after their first drink
from the water hole
to seek out some berries, lick of salt sometimes.

The beauty of the sunrise is for every one's eyes to behold,
As” life” passes on from one to another, I am told.

Every one who is up now, and those of us who choose,
to reach out and try, nothing but happiness will be
waiting and with prayer we shall find,
A beautiful morning sky,
A New Dawn
