SUNLIGHT

 Sunlight, sun so bright.

Sparkling diamonds in light beams

kissing the petals of sunflower dreams.

Large green leaves shadow strong stems,

dew drops glisten like liquid gems.

Following the sun from dawn till dusk,

savoring the sun's light rays deep into the night.

Gently turning through early morning hours;

the sunflower seeks the glory of the new days light.

Ever following, ever true,

ever finding each day anew.

There was a light that came from above,

God's only Son, encased in His love.

He is the true light that gives light to every man.

Like the yearning of the sunflower for light rays:

so is a man created to yearn for the true light

that he may have eternal days.

Like the glistening liquid gems of morning dew;

every morning God's mercies are new.

Flowering hearts following the Son from dawn till dusk,

meditating His Word deep into the night.

Gently turning in restored early morning sleep,

only to awaken to the glory of the Son's light.

Tears may endure for a night,

but joy comes in the morning.

Ever following, ever true,

the seeking heart will find each day anew within the Son's light.
