HEAVENLY SIGHT

                                                                  Heavenly Sight

It is in the silent power

Of the rising of the sun
And the chirping of morning song
Announcing a new day begun

It is the splash of yellow color
That lights the leaves of the trees
As limbs dance gently up and down
To the rhythm of the breeze

It is the cotton candy clouds
Turning dark and heavy with rain
And the roll of thunder and lightning
As a storm passes o'er the plain

It is the grand pallet of color
That paints awe across the west
As the sun recedes in the glory
Of a day that has come to rest

It is the sparkling canopy
Of stars that glitter in the night
The lonesome call of the whippoorwill
And the owl as it takes flight

It is all of these wondrous things
Around me morning, noon, and night
That soothes my soul when this I know
That it is God I have in sight
