Basking With Delight
Under shade of heaven, exposing a cheerful firmament…
my special child, mirth-filled, basked with delight
since he had in his possession, freedom-might
precious more than gold for optimized play engagement.
Midst temperate weather, calmed by azure sky…
his boyish complexion welcomed sun-exposure
while his untrimmed hair found beach-pleasure
on that gracious vacation he had his kite fly high.
Frolicking in the sand after his gracious revival lease
my special child showed blissful praise-driven gratitude
moving my faith, like bud, to bloom with patience-fortitude
through God’s eternal* love while the Lord I seek to please.
*Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
