Timing

A red rising sun like a fireball on the horizon Ushers in a warm humid day Slowly it inches its way up, changes colors Welcomes all to come play The roosters excited voices toll out their cock-a-doodle-do While cooing Doves welcome the sun highlighting sky's blue One lone crow caws out atop a Georgia Pine As the sun changes to clear illumination Right aligned with the Master's time Has my timing met the Master's Did my clock strike-out on its own Yes, it did at times leaving Him all alone He waited with arms wide open Welcomed me back into the fold An erring child welcomed That He dressed in the finest purple robe

Sara, I am awed by your creativity. I know from whence it comes. All who consider themselves prodigals should take comfort in these words. Written with a consecrated pen.... Jake
