It was a high country morning at the breaking of day,
I looked in amazement at the peaks far away.
The clouds down below me hid the valley from view,
The Pines up behind me whispered blessings anew.
I stood there in silence as I met this new day,
"Dear Father, I thank you" was all I could say.
"Lord help me be worthy of the blessings you give;
And share them with others as long as I live."
--Gyneth Lawrence
