This morning when I wakened,

And saw the clouds above,

I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,

Bless everyone I love."

And right away I thought of you,

And I said a loving prayer,

That He would bless you specially,

And keep you free from care.

I thought of all the happiness

A day could hold in store.

I wished it all for you because

No one deserves it more.

Jean-Paul
