Dawn
I rise early before the
cocks crow .
I smile as I look out of the window.
The day is fine and the sky clear ;
Birds' twittering everywhere I hear.
I boil water to make a cup of tea
That's my morning brew , you see.
Then I clean the house and feed the chickens
and not forgetting the milk for
mum's kittens .
A great view I have from the window
overlooking a large green
meadow.
Each dawn , I run to its grassy
buxom
Where many a flowers blossom.
The sunflowers are still droopy with sleep;
not yet from their flowery dreams
peep .
Yesterday I saw no lilies among the
bushes .
This morning they appear from hiding
places .
From afar a bird calls
Then another answers
Together they circle the air
Wings flapping ; soaring with flair.
I breathe in the fresh fragrance .
All my senses in a deep trance .
I spy at my dream paradise ;
waiting to see glorious sunrise .
This is how I start my
new day;
each day so happy and gay .
I'll be back here in the even song
;
When the shadows are deep and long.
