Morning Light

Oh the gentle morning light

Shine on this world and make it bright!

Oh let dawn with its gentle blush

Light up the world in a quick rush!

Let the colours red and gold

Colour the summer flowers

Let the cool ocean blue

Light the sea’s ivory towers

Let the green colour the fields

And the white colour the day

Let the dawn colour all life

Wherever it is they lay!

Oh let the morning light shine

Each and every day!

Let its colours freshness and dew

Last throughout the day!

The cool morning breeze

The gentleness of first light

The whispers of the tree

And birds at first flight

Let the morning last, let the morning last

Through the afternoon and into the night

Until the blush of dawn

Again signals first light!

May K.
