The Sun

Dear Lord I want to thank you for the sun Without it the world would not have begun For we need the sun in order to survive Without it planet earth would not be alive I like the sun for the beauty it brings It grows our food, trees, among other things It gives us warmth, sunrises, sunsets and joy Brings endless happiness to each girl and boy The sun reminds me of you lord, for you are the light Giving hope to us all, every day and every night The brightness of each brand new day reminds me of your love Smiling down on each one of us from heaven up above ~Written with my son Daniel for religion homework~

You two work beautifully together! My 10 year old g'daughter and I often collaborate when she asks for help in her projects. It's fun and I am so pleased that she likes poetry! Hugs // paul

Hey Cecilia, stopped by for a visit and found this wonderful tribute to our Heavenly Father for one of His most treasured gifts to us - the Sun. I am even more elated to see the loving care you have given your son in helping him to grow in the knowledge of our Creator and His Creation; and also in helping him to grow in his faith and love for others. God bless you both! Neva
