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
