I saw a summer sunrise,
A dozen shades of gold,
igniting clouds to brilliant life.
I saw a sunrise
and thought of you.
I saw a new born lamb,
Pure, perfect white,
Trusting, innocence1 at the start of life.
I saw a new born lamb
and thought of you.
I saw a flowing stream.
Chuckling2, shimmering3 silver.
Meandering4 happily to- who knows where.
I saw a flowing stream
and thought of you.
I saw a towering tree,
Verdent canopy5, far above the earth,
Strong, eternal, ever growing.
I saw a towering tree
and thought of you
