I awake each morning
to hear the joyful songs
of birds outside my window.
They sing without worrying
about who hears.
The sing without worrying
about what anyone thinks.
They simply sing because they have a song.
Surely there is a song of joy in each of us.
O that I might start my day
with a morning song,
without worrying about who hears
or what anyone thinks.
May I sing joyfully
simply because I have a song.
