The Birds They Are-A-Chirpin'

The Birds They Are-A-Chirpin'
The Dawn Has Not Yet Broke
The Spring Is Now A-Bloomin'
To Those Who Just A-Woke


We Splash Our Face With Water
And Brush Our Teeth 'n Hair
We Look Into The Mirror
Before We Say Our Prayer


That Inner Voice Is Calling
He Has Inclined His Ear
We Read Our Bible Verses
And Now We Have No Fear

Dear morgen90210 ,


The real power lies in daily and continual communion.
“I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Thank you for your comments!


David
