Natures Gift

[sherrie]

A blanket of frost
Gleaming so bright
Lay on my clothing
A gift from the night

I smile and I marvel
At such pleasure found
In something that one day
May put me down in the ground

A silent prayer
At seeing a new dawn
I wake and I rise
I cough and I yawn

Home is where my heart is
Right here in my chest
I have no dwelling place
In wish to rest

I beg and I steal
I duck and I dive
By the grace of God
I learnt how to survive
