The Message


I am amazed by your love

and your never ending peace

so often, I take it for granted

as I stare at the sky and

see nothing


I am missing it

what is right in front of me

your hands created the

managerie of colors above me


there is such beauty in the

mind of the Lord

how he paints the portrait in the sky

to remind us of the love he has for us


He isn't leaving a message in words

but only in the transition from the rising

or the setting sun

it is the mystery of our Lord

the one who chose to make

us in his likeness


Each day, the sky is different

Each day, he paints anew

Each day, we are reminded

of the love of Jesus Christ

who shed his blood

so that we could be free

from apocalypse and pain


we are cleansed becase he died

we are free because he rose again


God reminds us in the sky


So, when your weary

or tired

and the day has come to an end

the darkness is looming ahead

looking to the sky

and remember our Lord

and his message

He is painting a message in the sky
