Mornings, Puppies, and Kittens

 

MORNING, PUPPIES, AND KITTENS

 

 

Shadows peak and scurry from the trees,

a puppy shivers and whines while upon my knees.

 

Full of life and wonder a kitten chases its tail,

a bee darts and dives around a flower’s water pail.

 

It’s morning in the country and creatures are a stir,

the morning started fresh again and before night, all will be a blur.

 

If only we like morning, puppies, and kittens would remain,

then the dawning of each new day would be without pain.

 

This morning is a faithful reminder of God’s care,

life begins anew with the promise every sorrow He’ll share.
