God's Sound and Light Show!

I've seen shows where blinding light and raucous song held sway; Have beheld brilliant displays of rockets on Independence Day! But all such cacophonous sounds and lights devised by man, Will never equate to the majestic shows provided since time began! Ah, to witness the dawning of a new day, each sunrise so unique, Tinting the snowy heights, revealing the grandeur of Pikes Peak! Then, to view glorious sunsets as Old Sol settles in the west; I like to think He painted them just for me - I am truly blessed! The ebon sky comes alive at night putting on a brilliant show. The resplendent moon floods the earth with its mellow glow. Sparkling stars wink at me, inviting me to make a wish. Aurora borealis lights the northern sky with each silent swish! I'm in awe as thunder roars and lightning streaks across the sky. After the storm, He'll reveal a gorgeous rainbow by and by! I've heard the soothing hymn of water playing its melodic theme, As it merrily flows along its way upon the meandering stream! I've heard the haunting honk of geese on their southward wing, And the robin's cheery serenade heralding the dawn of spring. I cringe, having attended rowdy concerts, paying a hefty fee, When I can watch God's fabulous show - and it's all for free! Robert L.

Great write, Sarge. When we lived in Colorado Springs we used to go half way up Pikes peak on weekends in the fall. Talk about gorgeous scenes around each bend of Barr Trail. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

You're right Robert. Mann's meager shows cannot be a candle to God's displays, free and open for all to see and admire. Love, Joyce
