MORNING SUN

I gazed over the mountainside-Alone at break of day

and wondered at the colours God choose to paint the day

The background of his canvas he painted softest grey

then splashe a ray of sunshine-As if to light the way

I watched the Master painting-And begun to understand

that in the lovely picture-He shared a simple plan

*******

For just as in His painting-Our lifes begin soft grey

We choose our colours-Hour by hour-As we live each day

**

And when our life is over-The painting all be done

He wipes the canvas clean for us-To paint the Morning Sun
