I see the penmanship of God each time I look up to the canopy of blue The sun, the birds in flight, the downy clouds All legibly describe my Father, too. I see His works in fountains of the deep, The fish both large and small that play therein, The great ships as they ride the boistrous waves, The artistry of wind and tide and fin. I find myself dumbfounded and in awe Whenever I look one rose in the face, What beauty, what symmetry and what bliss To find fragrance and art = all in one place. I hold a baby's tiny hand in mine And marvel at the very gift of life, Content I am to know that this great God Can speak His peace amidst both din and strife. Then as my eyes stretch forth their sights at night They scarcely can begin to comprehend The lamps of God on skies of velvet black, The numbering of which would have no end. The strength and majesty of mountains tall, Each crystal raindrop tolling like a bell Renews within me that great certainty That my God is indeed alive and well. - Georgia B. Adams |
