Defining sunrise
Another touch of peace
Harmony’s interactions
Nature’s timely release
Embracing daylight
Morning’s joyfulness speaks
Each illustrated landscape
Nature’s waiting mystique
Inserting wind’s breath
Grove of tree branches sway
Scattered pollen taking flight
Nature’s open gateway
Mixing up colors
Hues of unique design
Tranquility delivers
Nature’s scenic pipeline
Fulfilling vision
Hope offering her hand
Empty canvas finished
Nature’s spirit commands

Blessing days without strife
Measuring every word
Wisdom’s voice fills each mind

Maturing faith aligned
Cascading from Christ’s light

Sowing hope’s seeds, trust flows
Reaping from fields of peace
Wisdom’s patience merging
Just as Father hath planned
Witnessing strength surging
Reaching out from Christ’s hand
Wisdom’s honest sweetness
Christ transforms man’s blindness
Filling life’s completeness
Building grace of kindness

Enemy’s darkness now shattered
Father’s peace illuminates love
Patience always slow to anger
Angelic praises from above
Judgment left to His caring hands
Father’s vision expresses love
Invites man’s actions of kindness
Sunrise always leads from above
Truth sown from greatest commandment
Father looks inward at man’s love
Shared with every generation
Joy destined to praise from above
