The New Forest
I got up very early

And I walked towards the sun

To mingle with the magic

Of a new day just begun.

I watch the night-cloud vanish

And the sky turn crystal blue

And the sparkle of a rainbow

As the sunshine caught the dew.

A song bird trebled sweetly,

Whilst a pigeon sang the bass -

Everything just as it should be.

Everything in its right place.

I felt my spirits lifting

As I walked along alone,

Contented in the knowledge

I am never on my own.

I thanked God for the beauty

And the spirit of the dawn.

I thanked God just for being

Part of this special morn.
