In Living

Breakfast in the morning,
Is a special time of day.
When sleep has vanished from the eyes,
And its kneeling time to pray.

When hearts are turned to heaven,
And our thoughts are sent above.
When our want for good intentions,
Travel on the path of love.

When we have learned from yesterday,
And a better way is sighted.
And the tongue that cut another's heart,
With gentler words are righted.

When a neighbor just across the way,
With cares you once had banned.
But just for once you smiled at him,
And took time for his hand.

O it is a glorious time of life,
When one soul for another.
Can humbly ask his God above,
To ever bless...his brother.
