Awesome blessings come down exceedingly from God*
Heavenly instilling joy, kindness, love, mercy
Nourishing optimistic peaceful quest ---
Reviving stewardship triumph
Upholding virtuous wisdom
Xanadu yearns zealously.
*Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

1st place, "Alphabet Soup" ABC Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 2/2/2025
At 827PM, I'm looking out of the western window of our home.
A few seconds ago, I was busy writing a letter to America, wishing
her a Happy Birthday. I then took a moment to look over my left
shoulder, whereupon I beheld a majestic canopy that captured my attention.
I have ceased writing the 'America' poem and am now writing this one.
The sun has set but left a masterpiece of beauty in its wake.
I am observing red hues, light and dark blues, and white and dark grey.
I am receiving a live demonstration of how each sunset has a different painting, perhaps as unique as human fingerprints. In this 'never before
never again moment, I sit awed and amazed.
The Painter of these breathtaking and mesmerizing views never ceases to strike His divine brush as the ever-changing views remain in motion
and ever alive as I just captured 8 minutes of awesomeness.

It's a good thing to stop still
to consider who God claims to be
this eternal being has always been
who shall always be forever and free
This is the Lord God rules over all
nothing or nobody can stop his control
no man is able to thwart his will
master tactician is always his role
Ponder much on all of this
the finite awesomeness of God
living with a real godly reverence
knowing the presence of divine rod
So stop to be utterly still
bring to mind the knowledge known
of this God who's sovereign king
sent his son our sins to atone
Learn well of a living knowledge
that this God is supremely real
manifesting his awesome greatness
his great power you'll certainly feel
