I feel the peaceful stillness where nature yawns <br />And grasps the day anew, <br />Bringing to full crescendo the sweet peace of night. <br />I set about my day with hope renewed, <br />Full well knowing there will be a tomorrow, <br />And if it is not so, of what does it matter? <br />My time is now to commune and be one with nature.<br /><br />Joyce M. Reed, Gelhaus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gratitude-3/
