| Morning Coffee by George Mendoza |
Good morning, good God!
Today, Lord, I offer you
my praise and thanks
- for the whoosh, crunch and rustle
of the leaves beneath my feet...
- for sunlight glowing amber
through the trees along the road...
- for a quilted warm embrace
against the chill of autumn nights...
- for the lullaby of owls
hooting softly in the woods...
- for farm stands jeweled with apples,
red delicious, granny smith..
- for the sterling silver beauty
of October's harvest moon...
- for the last of blue hydrangeas
holding fast against the frost...
- for the rain of tears from heaven,
shed for peace upon the earth...
- for the changing of the seasons
in my world and in my heart...
- for shorter days reminding me:
how swift the gift of time...
- for your ever-faithful presence,
winter, summer, spring and fall
I offer you my thanks and praise,
my Lord, my God, my all...
Amen.
