My Beautiful Day by Marion Schoeberlein

I borrowed a poem from the sky,

and music from a bird,

I stole a chime out of the wind,

and from the rose a word.

I borrowed a song from the hills,

a psalm from the silver rain,

I took the footsteps of angels

out of a cobbled lane.

From each little thing I fashioned

something in my own way.

With God’s help, I put in my heart

a beautiful, wonderful day!
