Tomorrow answers

Before sun awakens

Looking outside
Harmony’s landscape
Snowfall’s peaceful rhythm
Fresh coffee’s dreams of escape
Finding goodness
Beautiful day sings
Oatmeal’s filling spirit
Welcome nutrition it brings
Blessing this day
Outlook fills with pride
Opportunity’s charm
Joy saddles its daily ride

Dressing in layers
Furnace running at top speed—
Now, who loves winter?
Kitchen’s window view
Yard’s relentless, frozen scene—
Calendar says “Spring”
Welcomed arrival
Spring bursting with treasured breath—
Red robin flies in
Envision every hillside
Covered in tranquility’s green
Beauty forever remains
Painting another scene
One road leads to paradise
Illuminated, trusted hope
Freedom’s quiet voice remains
Focusing journey’s scope
Darkness often threatens peace
Conquered by heart’s determined beat
Positive outlook remains
Walking each lighted street
Sunrise offers sweetest taste
Brightened with kindness, full of grace
Expression of joy remains
Sharing love to embrace

Community’s landscape
Overflowing with needs
Steps of kindness gather
Warming with grace that feeds
Invisible to most
Sowing with heavens’ love
Seeds of kindness planted
Sharing peace from above
Hope arrives every day
Connecting with traction
Breath of kindness travels
Harvesting each action
Slowly outlook changes
Nourishing so many
Light of kindness nurtured
Forwarding with plenty
One week, one day, one hour
Volunteering mends hearts
Proof of kindness growing
Doing its faithful part
