On and empty canvas before life begun
The Lord in His wisdom painted the sun
He mixed colors with red's and blue
He painted a rose with droplets of dew
With colorful strokes He made the trees
Decorated with the beauty of the leaves
He carefully painted each grain of sand
Added the sky with a stroke of His hand
He molded the mountains majestic to see
With gentle waves he painted the sea
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On and empty canvas we start our day
We are given every color to display
It is our choice, the life we choose
We decide on the red's or the blue's
Do we color our world with happiness
Or do we convey our tears and sadness
Do we waste the hours that we live
Or do we paint the joy that God gives
Each brand new morning we start anew
And empty canvas from God to you...
Everyday is precious Linda and thank you for this poem. You showed how the wondrous beauty of the earth is connected to vastness of the universe. I also think we see more clearly once our bodies have been challanged or plagued by some illness or disease. Whatever sickneses that befelled me in life spiritual enlightenment occured afterwards. The most precious moments in life at the present is the one that I share with you now over the internet,
because this is all I have. Please keep me in your prayers and once again I am eternally in your debt and at His feet! Peace!!!

I like how the poem is divided into
two parts that are connected.
