Sunrise

Beautiful is the sunrise

       To born another day,

I gather a message

       As I watch the rays.

Such splendor and warmth

       Yet, it has not soul;

So powerful is God

       Yet, gently makes me whole.

Who knows what is in a sunrise?

       Materially, oh yes, still,

Did you ever stop to marvel

       How it obeys Gods will?

There is power within the sun

       Mortals live and grow,

Deep within the thoughts of me

       Is God who made it so.

Treasures Mine

Many years I searched for

       The gold at rainbows end,

Getting some I wanted more

       With no leisure time to spend.

Suddenly the dawning light

       Opened my sleepy eyes,

I saw many treasures bright

       Glistening in the sky.

The world opened as a mine

       With wealth to please a king;

As I seek the more I find,

       Added pleaure it brings.

I took a walk one day

       And held a real live gem

as a neighbor passed my way,

       I caught the smile of a friend.

I had some time to spend

       And so rich the delay,

I heard laughter of children

       While in their play.

I walked on golden leaves,

       Bathed in the suns rays,

My hair caressed by breeze,

       My heart held a day.

Costly jewels bought in a store

       Are mans joy and his pride

But to me precious so much more

       Are the jewels I wear inside.
