The Country Mouse at Dawn

1. One morning when the little country mouse 
rose with the dawn
she slipped into her soft and fleecy robe 
with gentle yawn.
The SUN, barely awake, now seemed
to try its very best
to stretch its sleepy eyes open, 
with a ‘smidgen’ of zest.

2. As the little mouse straightened
her comfy floral spread,
she imaged others that were still 
tucked in their cozy bed.
It was comforting to have
her NEIGHBORS all nearby.
Just thinking of them warmed her heart 
and brought a heartfelt sigh.

3. Life was pleasant in the country 
where she loved to dwell.
The summer FLOWERS and winter snowflakes 
caused her heart to swell.
She could feel God’s presence  
watching over her each day,
with a Father’s love 
and in an unconditional way.

4. The days passed peacefully 
within her cozy warm abode.
She felt ever safe, as gifts
and graces overflowed.
SPRING was just a breath away, 
with its delicate touch,
promising that soon, birds, flowers, 
and sunshine would approach.

5. As the country mouse, slipped to 
the kitchen quietly,
heating a roll, she perked some
fresh hot COFFEE cheerfully.
Then at the kitchen table, 
she began to plan her day,
while nibbling, sipping coffee, 
in the most delightful way.
