In the early hours of morning, just before the dawn<\/h6>\n
A symphony erupts from the lily pond\u2026<\/h6>\n
Standing tall is the cat-tails awaiting the song\u2026<\/h6>\n
Apalone-spinifera curious to hear<\/h6>\n
Baritone bull-frogs croaking near\u2026<\/h6>\n
Woodwinds of crickets\u2026a clicking, chorus, cheer\u2026<\/h6>\n
Sassy Mallards waddle and the meadowlark sweetly tweet\u2026<\/h6>\n
Monarchs dancing, making daybreak complete\u2026<\/h6>\n
Songs of the morning, arousing from their nests\u2026<\/h6>\n
Listen to the orchestra as the climax brings its best\u2026<\/h6>\n
Trumpets and lily pads\u2026they all draw near<\/h6>\n
Father Sun opens the sky, on the horizon, rising throughout the years\u2026<\/h6>\n
As beams of light burst forth in glorious delight\u2026<\/h6>\n
All peonies and water lilies and critters, arise\u2026<\/h6>\n
For the grand finale as it lights up the skies\u2026<\/h6>\n
Awaken earth, awaken sky\u2026stretch forth from your sleep, day is nigh\u2026<\/h6>\n
Bunnies and little foxes\u2026field mice and turtle doves\u2026<\/h6>\n
Newness of day fills the morning with His love\u2026<\/h6>\n
Sing morning Glories, Pine Trees clap your hands\u2026Praise for the morning\u2026<\/h6>\n
Daybreak commands\u2026greeting the Master and all who draw near\u2026<\/h6>\n
Open your hearts open your ears\u2026<\/h6>\n
For in the meadow just before the dawn\u2026<\/h6>\n
A symphony erupts from the lily pond\u2026<\/h6>\n

\u201cSo you\u2019ll go out in joy, you\u2019ll be led into a whole and complete life. The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song. All the trees of the forest will join the procession, exuberant with applause. No more thistles, but giant sequoia, no more thorn bushes, but stately pines\u2014 Monuments to me, to God, living and lasting evidence of God.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
