Mirrors

As the water acts as a mirror
To reflect the clouds and sky
Let my attitude become a mirror
Of my Father who lives on high

As real men ride in chariots
Being pulled by fiesty horses
Being handled with only a bridle
These men who control such forces

Like God who with strength controls
The whole universe with his right arm
Guiding the sun, moon and stars
To contain the earth's climate warm

Let me turn over to God
Things that I don't understand
So my attitude can remain calm
In so turbulent of a land

Sara this is so inspiring. We certainly need to hold on to our Faith even more when we don't understand things. We sure need to be mirrors in this day and age. Thanks for this poem. Robert
