Keep Your Head Up

God painted a beautiful sky for me.
The blue was vibrant
and expanded throughout the heavens.
He planted soft, image-filled clouds
high above my head.
Even breathing out His spirit,
letting the pillows dance
within the sky;
I could feel the breeze
run through my hair.
He called the fowls
from the sky to come my way
to keep me company.
All this He did for me
that I may be happy.
All this He did for me,
but I never looked up.
I never did see the beauty
that God gave to me.
