An Inspirational Poem
Good Morning, and God Bless

Poet: John McLeod, © 1989, from "Quiet...flows the love"

Good morning and God bless
On this most wonderful of days

God given, lit by sunlight
Shafting down in golden rays.

The heart sings out its wondrous joy
In choir with birdsong sweet,

And all one's love can employ
This beauteous day to greet.

Oh skies of azure
Blue as any skies could ever be,

How glad I am to meet this day
How well blessed to be me!

Another inspirational poem by John McLeod, © 1989:
It's The Dawnlight's Early Sunbeams


It's the dawnlight's early sunbeams
Heralding a brand new day
It's the freshening breeze of reason
Blowing care's dull clouds away.
It's the melody within the heart
That helps us to endure,
It's the light of His dear love
That leads us homewards safe and sure.


It's the whispering of Autumn leaves
In shades of gentle gold,
It's the first green shoots of Springtime
As the new year soft unfolds,
It's the gentle scent of roses
That bring beauty, wondrous pure,
It's the light of His dear love
That leads us homewards safe and sure.


It's the joy the songbirds carol
And the gull high on the wing,
It's the gentle touch as Friends draw near
And warmth and loving bring,
It's the Hope that springs within the heart
And Faith strong and secure,
It's the light of His dear love
That leads us homewards,
safe and sure.
