Far-reaching light

My Father, may I
ask that as the sun rises,
I may sing for joy.

That as the sun sets,
I will recall each moment
spent in Your presence.

Not just for me. For
all whom the sun, moon, and stars
reflect Your love’s light.

In these darkest times,
a healing light always shines.
The Son has risen.

I see and hear the birds, the deer,
the kids that play across the way.
I feel the breeze, and watch the trees react,
and I make eye contact with Chickadee.
I smile as he rests on my sill.
Then I refill my coffee mug,
sit snug and still and know
the golden glow of morning sun,
and glorious One who made it rise
and harmonize with all I see
outside my window;
inside me.
