I watch the sunrise

I watch the sunrise lighting the sky, casting its shadows near.

And on this morning, bright though it be, I feel those shadows near me.

But you are always close to me, following all my ways.

May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord.

I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds, warming the earth below.

 And at the mid-day, life seems to say: I feel your brightness near me.
