A Gratitude Bouquet

The morning sun is up again
To greet a brand new day,
To show God’s praise from east to west
And chase the night away.

The little birds are all awake
And singing to the Lord,
Inviting all who hear their praise
To join each joyful chord.

The flowers, too, are open now
With colors fair and bright,
A silent witness to the care
Of God who gives them light.

I’d like to join the shining sun,
The singing birds today,
With thankful praise that shows God’s love –
A gratitude bouquet.
