WINNING POEMS: poetry book

GRACE

GRACE
[The sun and the moon and the stars have a message for man.]


I look up and see the sun,
Smiling on the world below,
Giving us a message that
We too should give warmth and glow.

I look up and see the moon,
Up above the floating cloud,
Sending a message of love,
Soft and silent, yet so loud.

I look up and see the stars
Say with a twinkle in eye:
Though around you it be dark,
Be happy and never cry.

Sun and moon and twinkling stars,
Skies and clouds and winds and rain,
All tell me to sing His grace,
And, never, to Him complain.
