Water and Sky

WATER AND SKY As a child, I learned a saying It still remains with me Since lazy, warm summer evenings Up in the sky I'd see A huge white moon shining bright And it always intrigued me And I would say of this sight God bless the moon, and God bless me As an adult on the island of Oahu I would see a moon shining down Upon an ocean of blue With waves making a gentle sound Causing memories of childhood days When only the moon I could view But here on grand display I can see the ocean too Seeing them together made me realize That our Creator so grand Placed such beauty before my eyes And in utter awe I would stand Watching this gorgeous display I offered praise to God above Who created the two in array For me to view and to love 2 January 2018 Water and Sky contest sponsored by Gregory Barden
