Morning Glory Poem by Jimmy L. Lyons

I love this beautiful morning;
I can taste the morning breeze.
I know it can change without warning,
but for now my mind's at ease.

This time is my morning glory;
I just want to run and shout.
I want the world to hear my story,
and this is no time for doubt.

There's glory in being holy,
and there's glory in being true -
true to God so I'm not lonely;
true to myself so I'm not blue.

The trees are filled with birds,
and the morning's filled with light.
It's not easy to put into words,
the feelings I have to fight.

I'm fighting my feelings of sadness
with all of my heart and soul;
I'm fighting to end all this madness
and hoping to get to my goal.

I just want to have my joy back,
and I need to hear God's Word.
I just want to stay on the right track,
and know my prayer's being heard.

This is my hopeful story;
I'm trying to do my best,
at this time of my morning glory,
to let go, let God, and be blessed.
