Poem
Early in the day o’er in Eastern sky Dawn comes, then sunrise = Morning comes over the horizon Into a new day filled with surprise Standing in the country garden While the grass is moist with dew Pink roses emit their sweet perfume, I watch the heav’nly canvas rise anew There are colors beyond imagination Pinks, lavender, reds and streaks of gold The Master Artist at work for our joy Providing all our eyes can behold There, too, is the sun – big, yellow, bright Ever so gently rising over the hill This sun God’s creation to reveal Himself The earthly reminder of the spiritual Father As the yellow light gradually moves across the sky I think of how I am the one rotating Not the sun going around and around It is planet Earth moving; I’m meditating A song of long ago told of the sun being “lucky” “He has nothing to do but roll around heaven all day” God’s creation always has something to do The sun gives light for us to find our way ‘”Oh good Lawd above, don’t you know I’m pinin’ Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver linin’ Take me to paradise…”* Like the poor man “pinin’” We can become miserable as we surmise— We can forget to look upward Failing to see God’s guidance with our eyes In Psalm nineteen verses one through six** “The heavens declare the glory of God, And the firmament shows His handiwork” We learn speech and knowledge without sound The sun as a strong man moves as in a race Going forward from the end of heaven With his circuit unto the ends of it Nothing is hid from the heat” of the sun Meditation time is over; I am ever thankful For the blessing of the sun’s steady movement And my balancing myself on revolving Earth— God reveals and teaches with His firmament Pinin’ times will come, miserable we will be Our Father God is aware of our humanity; His sun’s painted canvases always Opens and close the day for you and me Nature reflects God - He planned it that way We are the caretakers every day -Evelyn Pearl Anderson * " That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls around Heaven All Day) " music by Beasley Smith and words by Haven Gillespie, 1949 ** Psalm 19:1-6 Holy Bible
