January 1985

out in the first morning

i stand

            small

                        puny

                                    insignificant

against the immensity of sunrise

and stars fading away

in the departing night

            psalm eight

            ringing in my mind

oh great Lord

what am i

that you love me

enough to give me

life and love

sun and stars

music and laughter

eternity forever

beauty where-ever

i look

such joy i have, Lord

while others suffer

why me?

what did i ever do?

my God!

i love you

i thank you

i praise you

i live because of you

everything i am

all i do

is all you

thank you

that i live

that i see

that i love

thank you

for you

Wesley Acres, on West Lake, early Sunday morning.
