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.
