Morning Song

I woke this morning to the birds singing.

I wondered if they were happy

to be alive, and able to be bringing

this world their song of freedom.

I thought that I, like those birds

have a gift to share with everyone.

We forget what we have when we compare

ourselves to others and things they've done.

Today will be a brighter day.

I'll look for ways to cheer another

with smiles and hugs along my way.

Today I'll look for happiness to share.
