The Gift
Of a new morning
I appreciate the days that come with a welcome.
And acknowledge it’s simply my point of view.
It’s the way that I see things happening.
When mornings feel fresh, pristine, and new.
The trees I watch outside my window
Bow and wave and smile at passers-by
The diamonds scintillate in the sunshine.
Wealth out in the Bay no one can buy.
There’s an ambience in the air of happiness.
Freedom and the flight of fancy-free
A feeling that deeply pervades my senses
White horses were galloping across the deep blue sea.
It’s a feeling of life, love, and movement.
La Dolce Vita sweeping before my eyes
The environment of beachside beauty
Seagulls were wheeling in late summer skies.
Appreciation is in the eyes of the observer.
A deep feeling of gratefulness and gratitude
It wells up from a source of happiness.
And is a feeling, point of view and attitude.
Affinity with the forces of nature
Companionship friends and a lover too
Join hands for fulfilment and satisfaction.
Appreciation of the great gift of being two.
I appreciate the gift of a new morning.
When the world revolves in synchronicity
And never once will you take it for granted.
The rare opportunity of being free.
