Morning’s welcome grace
Warm, embracing flight
Feeling sun waking
Radiance supplants night

Morning’s tender touch
Spirit strengthens heart
Fulfilling fresh choice
Day’s remarkable start

Morning’s greeting stirs
Each star fades away
Exploring new hopes
Optimism fuels this day

Morning’s renewal
Miracle of peace
Bringing happiness
Life opens blessed lease

Morning’s whisper breathes
Precious reception
Offering fresh dreams
Beautiful perceptions

Morning’s gentle words
Each fragrance delights
Freshening outlook
Tomorrow waits to write
