He meets me in the morning when

The eastern skies are gray,

His smile starts spreading over the sky

And backs the gloom away!

.

.

That smile grows wider, soon the east

Is bright and rosy red.

The wind is the ripple of His laugh

At something Gabriel said!

.

.

It is clear to me the birds are glad,

They are echoing His cheer.

Their homes exposed to wind and rain

That song, does it show fear?

.

.

Why should I then be fearful of the

Elements or pain,

The future, past of man or beast,

Of fire, wind, or rain?

.

.

Our Heavenly Father loves us all.

We are His creatures, too.

All nature sings so why do not we

His praise forever!  True!
