today

in the midst of making
cafe con leche, scrambled eggs
the view arrests my eyes
out the curved kitchen window
the awakening eastern sky
greets the day and his Maker
a bird sings praises in the distance
he knows Who brings each worm
I love this sight so new and fresh
my eyes can only look up
this day, this special day
all the wonders He has wrought
so I sip my coffee and give thanks
He knows each step I take
and I will keep my eyes on Him
my eyes above the waves
