Morning Praise
Valley air
freshness lofts in
and all around,
hymns of the birds
lifts my soul,
sunshine
gently kisses the day,
shades of green
awakening to life
all lifting
their praise to God.
A distant barking dog
calling for play,
the cawing rooster
chimes in too,
day unfolding gently
with invitation
the bell tolls
the day begins.
I arise
adding my praise,
lifting my heart
to God.
This poem was written while I was on pilgrimage in Italy. It was written at Greccio, a favorite place of St. Francis of Assisi and where he created the first creche scene.
Laudato Si' Action:
Do you have a favorite place in creation?
Have you given thanks to God for this place?
What are your Morning Praises?
