His Watching Care

A silken gray pathway
For fleecy clouds to roam.
A single star called Sun
To smile down on our home.

These all were made, to say
To we who live below;
To us, the breathing dust:
“You’re not alone.  ”

A tiny sparrow died. 
Somewhere, sometime today.
She’s fallen from the sky,
Yet-  just a prayer away.

These all were made, to say
To we, alive below;
To us the breathing dust:
 “You’re not alone.”

A million little sparrows
heaped high could not compare
to one immortal soul
Within His perfect care. 

These all were made, to say
To we, alive below;
To us the breathing dust,
 “You’re not alone.”

A fleecy cloud, a sun
anchored, in  Heaven high
remind us there is One
Who beholds us with His eye.

To you, His breathing dust:
 “You’re not alone.”
