In the Early Morning Hours

Early one morning

as I opened my eyes

I thought I'd go out

to see the sun rise.

The world was still dark,

the air had a sting,

that lovely cool freshness

you'd expect from spring.

I didn't see a daffodil,

no tulips to be had,

nor crocuses or hyacinths

but I was not sad.

The humble little flowers,

the ones you hardly know,

were out blooming gaily

and put on quite a show.

Whole beds of color,

pink and yellow and white,

hugged every tree

and filled me with delight.

The time went by quickly

the sun began to shine,

I bid 'good day' to the flowers

and went to start mine.
