Stained Glass

Looking up from the widow I did see, The most beautiful markings there ever could be. A dove shone so brightly in the light The pattern of colours was so very right. Although the building was very old. Those stained glass windows were very bold. I thought how would you keep them so shiny and clean. For the greatest of beauty sure did beam. It must be a skill to make such a gift. For the joy it brought me, was such a lift. To turn my eyes yet only for a while, brought to me a shining smile. Take time to engage in what brings you hope. Ascent, a moment to help you cope. Lookup to see what is above. Reach for your heart for there is always love

Stained glass windows have certainly lured the masses over time! What a difference they make when one is shivering to death inside a frigid church!
