Each morning is new
New color of skies and water
New light falling on leaves and plants along the road
Mystery and beauty unfold as I walk along the bay each day…
I feel renewed as I return home
Two wings of trust and hope
Love for God and creativity
Spread out under my arms as a magic…
And I come flying above the thorns and stones on the way
With a smile on my face and gratitude in the heart…
