DEWDROPS

Dewdrops
by kenny merrell

A world is seen between the green of lacy leaves and dewdrops in morn just before the sun begins to shine
Brilliance reflects as first light illuminates
And diamond like the colors coalesce to stories of the mind
I sit and wonder, Is this God’s plan ?
Has beauty been my only guiding light?
Must I sit and live in memory way into the night
Oh how beautiful, the colors sooth my mind
In wonderment, I sink to knees of creaking sounds and groan, to remember how long it has been
I say a prayer of thankfulness and
Count my blessings on my hand
A marriage with such happiness I fear
Someone will take away the one I hold so near
Such silly thoughts are tossed away
And I begin again,
Ah, but this is the problem
Every prayer I say must begin with thankfulness in kind
I must ask for protection for the ones I love
And then:
The beauty surrounds me and is always on my mind
Dew drops sparkling on lacy leaves of green
Mornings of memories
God’s benevolence and my joy of just being here alive
