DEWDROPS OF REFRESHMENT

I walked in glow of early dawn
Tread sparkling dewdrops on the lawn
Listened to the sweet blackbird song
As eager feet carried me along

Around the pleasant flowering bed
Where thoughts of wonder filled my head
When I saw such beauty in a flower
In the morning sun of soft hushed hour

Above the drone of industrious bee
A gentle voice seemed to speak to me
Consider that flower and be content
That my love for you is Heaven sent

The flower drinks of dewdrops in early light
I kiss its face with sunshine bright
The beauty of its petal garment that you see
Is woven by my hand and clothed by me

And for you my child much more I care
Than delicate flower that's blooming there
For I watch and see and from far above
Clothe you in the garments of my pure love

My blessings sweet I bestow to you
And refresh you with them like the morning dew
Then the voice was silent in the early morn
As I stood in the wakening of new day born

And considered all the voice had said
Its planted thoughts grew in my head
Then knew in that moment of sun rising hour
God had kissed me with dewdrops of refreshment like the lovely flower
