The Morning Rises

by Susie Ro


The morning rises through the trees
And the first thing that passes my lips are the words 'Thank you'

Another miracle is beginning
And the only thing that makes sense to sing is 'Thank you'

Thank you to the Earth for holding this body
And thank you to the Fire burning in the sun
And I, thank you Wind, for blowing my peace of mind

Thank you to the Water for keeping me flowing
And thank you to these teachings for keeping me growing
And I, thank you ~ for simply being alive

I am remembering to remember to give thanks
I am remembering to notice all these miracles
I am remembering the power that we have
I am remembering to give thanks
