Drink the gleaming morning joy
silver, shining, rainbow hued,
Delight in dazzling beauty fair,
glistening gift of life renewed
Songs of birds are captured there
mirrors of the sun's own rays
Whispered winds and starlight too
gathered in the drops of days
Our lives are like the morning jewels
each; a precious promise given
Touched by laughter, pain and hope
each; a special gift of heaven
