Watching the Sunrise

From where I live you never really see the early morning sun rising in the air.

You see it a little later once it lifts up above the mountains and peeks at you from there.

You will not see it’s orange and yellows that are so beautiful to contemplate

You see a sun that is white and warm and to harsh to watch in my home state.

But, I have seen the same sun as it rises over the sea.

It paints the air and colors the water as its rays bounce across to greet me.

The sky around the sun is orange and the colors of the ocean deep and wide

Are renewed as something beautiful as the sun glances at us from the side.

But later as the sun raises up higher in the skies

I dare not look directly at it for it can blind my eyes.

God is like that, you know, he gives a moment of praise

As we gaze upon his glory as we start each of our days.

But, much of what we see we see with blind and honest faith sublime.

For those precious moments when we see him will not last a very long time.

If only we could understand that we can see him everywhere

He is in the land and sea and he is in the tree, in fact, he is everywhere.

This may come as a surprise to you but if you want a glimpse of God

Simply look inside your heart, God is there deep down inside.

He created man to be in his own image this is a fact that’s true .

So we should know that a part of God is there, within me and you.

Don’t walk away from eternal life for it is the one true treasure.

It is the source of a greater joy than man can ever measure.
