New day

[larryJ]

Something I found in a box of my mother's papers.  I don't know if she is the author or if it is something she copied.

Titled:    NEW DAY

I watched the morning waken
from the stillness of night,
heard the sleepy chirps of birds
saw the first faint flush of light

The shadows fast receding
from the rosy glow of dawn
the birds are holding carnival
in the trees and on the lawn

Full throated now the chorus
of birdsong greets the sun
the shadows are all vanquished
a new day has begun
