A nation
Under God
Celebration
In His pod
Within diversity
Unity is attainable
In times of calamity
It is indispensable
Unto a family in their home
People within this diverse society
Whether in a steeple or under a dome
Gather seeking prayer and piety
They look upon each others faces
With joy and love, dispelling His light
Originating from varying places
Witnessing the same wisdom and might
He gave us the necessary adhesive
And it’s taking us a while to learn how to apply
He sent down tools which you can buy or lease if
You express gratitude for the wings which he gave you to fly.
This little light of mine,
Please, Lord, let her shine
This little light of mine!
She looks upon with a gaze
Which pierced the photo
And rid it from any haze
Within those eyes, one can see
The cogs a-turnin
A mind of deep curiosity
With that gaze, She views a world of turmoil and pain
She takes in that which surrounds her
Through the haze, she sees only sunshine and rain
She sees light at the end of every tunnel
Can connect the dots and view the larger picture
She refuses to look through only a narrow funnel
This little light of Thine
Please, Lord, let her shine
This little light of Thine!
What a beautiful picture. Is this your daughter? I really like this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you -- the photo is compliments of MPR photographer, Jeffrey Thompson.
ReplyDeleteWere you at a temple? I noticed everyone was barefoot.
