Message Written in the Sky

From the rising of the sun
in all attendant glory
the gift wrappings of the day
unfolding nature's story.

With brightness softly fusing
into clouds afloat in space
dewdrops too with seas reflecting
dawn's majestic face.

The Lord has touched the fringes
of earth's obedient sky,
in the gliding of the morning
when thoughtful hearts draw nigh.

Till daylight's azure dome
puts on resplendent robes,
and God with golden grace
crowns this little globe.

As pink and mauve dim slowly
softly closing of the day,
He turns on His chandeliers
to shine the gloom away.

The Almighty Creator says
Open your eyes and see,
beyond life's toil and weariness
Come, children, turn to me.

I've sent the glimpse of beauty
as a token of My love,
Let sunrise and sunset find you
remembering to look above.
