I Look

    I LOOK  (c) John Nesbitt 11.02.2017
I look up to the stars
but up to no man
I look down to the ground 
but not down on man
I look to the Sun
it gives us our heat
I look to the moon 
it brightens our night

I look to the clouds
they give us our rain
I look to the earth
it helps us sustain
I look at achievements
they make me feel proud
I look at my children
They stand out from the crowd

I look at their children
who won't be denied
they'll make their own way
and not ask, a free ride
I view their successes 
with pleasure and pride
when I leave this hard world
I'll be well satisfied

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
