Mornin' Gift - A Trinidadian Song of Wholeness

Sunrise Serenade: Unveiling the Magic of Every Day

Sun peekin' through de louvers, like a thief in de night,
Unveil de mornin', paintin' de sky in golden light.
A lil breeze kissin' de mango tree, shakin' off de sleep,
A sweet calypso playin' - nature's rhythm deep.


This day, a present, a lil treasure to embrace,
More precious than any ruby or any gold case.
Not for fancy galas, but small ting dat bring a smile,
De scent of doubles fryin', a lime wedged in yuh style.


Beyond de worries dat like to cloud yuh head,
There's a quiet place, where de truest self is bred.
A well of peace, where wisdom always flow,
A seed of joy to plant, watch it blossom and grow.


Open yuh senses, feel de world brand new,
Sunshine warm yuh skin, de sky a glorious blue.
De taste of fresh coconut water, sweet pon yuh tongue,
A symphony of life, a vibrant, joyful song.


'Cause in dis present moment, troubles take a flight,
Replaced by wonder, at de start of mornin' light.
Embrace yuhself whole, body, mind, and spirit strong,
A sacred vessel, where love and peace belong.


So step with purpose, heart full of gratitude,
Unwrap de gift of life, play yuh vibrant part, yuh good.
For every sunrise, a chance to truly see,
De magic weavin' through each ordinary day, for you and me.


We sing and we dance, under de poui tree's shade,
Like de steelband playin', life's a sweet parade.
Laughter like sunshine, spreadin' all around,
In dis island paradise, happiness is always found.


So raise a glass of mauby, let de good times flow,
Give thanks for de blessings, watch de river gently go.
This day, a gift, a chance to live and shine,
A Trinidadian rhythm, a melody divine.
