i awakened this morning

awakened this morning

i awakened this morning
with love on my mind
her touch was gentle
and her words were kind
i saw only goodness
to all else i’m blind
this is what happens
when there’s love on your mind

i awakened this morning
with joy in my heart
such a beautiful feeling
a great way to start
i now look at my life
as i do my art
i am my artist
for love live in my heart

i awakened this morning
and hope was right there
she showed me her love
a smile and her tear
in her holy presence
was an absence of fear
the Sun’s always rising
i think i’ll stay here

i awakened this morning
with a smile on my face
with no life agenda
no Human “Race”
to run nor finish
or to keep pace
for i live in this moment
this beautiful space

‘cause

when i awakened this morning
i felt God all in me
an absolute beauty
of life’s certainty
Life’s goodness abundant
as far as i can see
and i am so thankful
upon my bended knee

for . . .

i awakened this morning
