Gazing Up At the Heavens

gazing up at  the heavens 
as I lie on the warm summer ground
wondering what Father God 
is doing right now

the sprinkling of the stars
shining so bright
showing the power and glory
that is God's eternal light
the constellation pictures
that the stars do make
are they just for God
or also for our sake?

and whenever I hear 
the thunder's roar
I  wonder if God is playing 
with a bowling ball
and whenever I see 
the lightening flash
I wonder if Jesus 
just ran a 100 yard dash

gazing up at the heavens
the Kingdom of the Lord
waiting for the day
when I'll get my room and board
