Poetry by Richard Perry: Summer Morning
Summer Morning
Soft breezes fill the air.
Waves roll gently on the shore
The sun’s rays sparkle on the sea;
Calmness fills my heart.
Gulls walk softly on the shore;
While others glide overhead.
I look up to the heavens;
Clouds drift slowly across the sky.
Freshness fills the air.
Problems seem to fade away.
What a blessing to be here.
Away from the problems of life;
A chance to spend time with God;
To share my burdens with the Lord,
Relieving the stress holding me back;
My hope is restored.
