One More Chance

a plea and a prayer

When morning breaks with just a glitter,

A shiny, sparkling spot reveals a dawn.

Then birds call out a chirp, "It's ok to move, little critter!"

First a rabbit, next follows a very shy fawn.

*

The world has been granted a renewal of sorts,

Another chance to get things right and each do good.

The sun revs up its light like the prisms on a quartz

Every ray is gentle and warm; its message understood.

*

Nature waits in hopeful apprehension each morn

And prays we learn more as the circle revolves

Let us please bring joy and peace, leaving behind scorn,

For dawns are gifts given by Grace as mankind evolves.
