The sun rises

like a

goldfish

slowly drifting

up to

the top

of her

fishbowl

in search

of food.

Darkness

slips away

like a ship

far out

on the

horizon,

sailing behind

the fluffy,

white clouds.

Within minutes,

daylight has

spoken,

and all

of nature

is attentive

to her

calling.

The flowers

stretch

their petals

up towards

the sun

yawning

with delight

as they

soak in

her warmth.

The trees

reach out

to touch her

and caress her

with their

stately arms.

And I reach

for my coffee

as I lounge

in my chair

marveling at

the beauty

of it all.

This is

the day

The Lord

hath made.
