Daily Delights

D ear ones, arise, embrace the day!
E arly pre-dawn stillness may
L inger not, nor long it lasts.
I nitial birdsong grows and hast
G athered to proclaim day nigh,
H ints of crimson paint eastern sky.
T winkling stars bid all goodday,
S ing praises with the first bright ray.

G iven lavishly for our delight
O n each new morning He will write.
D ear ones, He doth still invite:
S avor this day, and all there-in
G ive joy to others and begin
I ncreasing pleasure from within,
F ollow the clear and simple rule:
T reat each one as a precious jewel.
