Strides and Niches

Strides and Niches

Heaven up above,
Shows that there is love.
Sending down sunlight.
Giving day and night.
Niches grow, below.

To hide new birth 
Born upon earth
Protecting life
Go, endless strife.

Sometimes dearth.
Can hope girth.
Unearth mirth.

Strengthen.
Lengthen.

Strides.
