Early Morning Solitude

I watched the sun come up this morning
Just as it does every morning
Most of the time I take it as a given

But today I started thinking
My thoughts started linking
I know for taking it fro granted I will be forgiven

I take it for granted because for nearly 50 years
It has always been there to erase the night’s tears
To God above for the sun, thanks I am given’

For the more I thought about that sun
To God the more my mind did run
As the sun came up in magnificent splendor

I am about to walk in waters unknown
I am crossing unseen boundaries into God’s zone
I only hope that him and you can over look my lack of knowledge

The rising sun to me is an unspoken promise from God
I do not mean this to read like a façade
I am just writing what came it me in my early morning solitude

The rising sun comes up every morning
Always without warning
To erase the darkness of night

Just like the other Son that I have taken for granted
With me I am sure he is disenchanted
For I have lives my life, my way, not his

For just as the clouds hide from my sight the sun
The devil hides from my heart the Son
But I know that both are always there for you and me

Like the wind that uncovers the sun
Early morning solitude uncovers the Son
Showing me an unspoken promise from God

So Lord on high I give unto to you thanks for this day
I give you thanks for allowing me the blessings of the new day
For I know that this time was not promised but given

I want to wish a great day to everyone
Even to the ones that time has erased from memory
But that were brought back while talking to a new friend

Thank you Sarah for waking those memories
Thank you Lord for bringing a new friend into my life
She is one special lady

Just as the lady is special
Of who the memories were
Lord, I have but one request

For myself I ask nothing
For as I watched the rising sun
I realize that I need nothing more than your Son

My request of you Lord
Is to give my friends the kind of day
That you have given to me

Lord watch over them
You know we all need a guiding hand
From time to time

Thank you, Lord
