When I look into the starlit heavens,
It makes me wonder why God has given
Those twinkling objects such freedom among
The very footstool of Heaven's great throng!

Their beauty attracts the gazes of men
Through all kinds of scopes, imagining when
And how they were made, to light up the sky,
Not falling to earth so many ask, why?

Their purpose has yet to fully be known,
But one thing remains & that is they've shown
The power of God, He does all things right,
For on the fourth day, He made them as light!

So never grow tired of watching them shine,
Their twinkle might hold a message in time-
In "solitude", God may speak to the heart,
Revealing Himself, His will to impart!

Then just as the stars shine out in the night
Our God will allow this life to shine bright-
Reflecting His love so others might see
That "solitude" has a "reason to be"!
