Morning’s rising sun
Creating poetic verse—
Filled with light’s moments


Vacation planning
Thinking very, very big—
Dreaming of Paris
Daring bike rider
Showing off his racing skills—
Grandparents marvel

Praying
To Father
Confidence within Him
Trusting in His control
Daily

Seeking
Tomorrow’s light
Heart embraces prayer
With eagerness to ask
Truth

Waking
With Jesus
Morning’s prayer-filled mindset
Leaving worries at cross
Peace

Remaining honest
Mirror’s objective vision—
Character’s guardrails

Life’s daily balance
Spotlight upon others’ work—
Self-pride takes backseat

Today’s challenges
Actions held accountable—
Tomorrow strengthened
