Love In a Manger

Beneath the twilight soars bright shooting stars, * r a d i a n t hues in cosmic fantasy- * * I bask in the midst of soft dreams afar, * sun sets in the west with v i t a l i t y. * * * Inside the c o r e of the solar system, I’m overwhelmed by heavens gentle view- I start to feel the Lord's warmth and wisdom, my eyesight stunned and my soul made a n e w. I fall to my knees and bow down to Him, as I b a t h e in the bliss of salvation- I retreat and whisper an adored hymn, breathe in r e l a x a t i o n of creation. To earth, mother nature's beauty was no stranger- but the FATHER birthed love in a m a n g e r. Date Written: September 1, 2016
