The Gift Poem by Aoife Gilmartin

Waking up this morning
At the very crack of dawn
The sun was shining
I gave an almighty yawn

Another day has come
We thank God for his blessing
For the opportunities now begun
The life we are living

The beautiful sunrise
Against the skies grace
And the elegance of butterflies
That everyday we embrace

So much work to be done
And prayers to be said
How i wish there were none
Then I could stay in bed

But then I'd miss the beauty
Of God's wonderful creation
For part of my given liberty
Is to watch in admiration
