Repeat After Me


Every morn, as sun arises,

is another day I’ll be blessed.

For, I know there’ll be surprises;

sheer joyfulness, each time, expressed.


And, should I find that sorrow’s swept

its shadowed shapes across my heart,

I’ll repeat your words, as vows kept,

loving cares that will never part.


With these wondrous thoughts I've been graced;

I'm ever-so gratefully thrilled,

I promise to keep them well-placed …

'til my heartbeats, alas, are stilled.


Every morn, as sun arises,

another day I will be blessed....

Your skill with verse and a song between the lines has been finely put forever, Richard, especially,

'Every morn as sun arises,
another day I will be blessed.
For, I know there’ll be surprises;
sheer joyfulness each time expressed....

Every morn as sun rises'
