I see in the distance before me, A picture worthy to behold, Painted in colors of such beauty, In colors yet untold,
For there lies an ocean beyond my shore , As far as my eyes can see, Bathed in the light of the setting sun, A magical golden sea.
Soft clouds drift by, adorning the sky, Each with its own design, Arranged with colors as on an artist’s palette, Colors that boggle my mind.
A ship that I can hardly see looms on the horizon, Floating on so vast a sea it’s like a toy, Enveloped in a haze of purple colors, Bringing dreams of far off lands as a boy.
A seagull silhouetted by the setting sun, Knowing now its day is done, Slowly gracefully flies my way, Looking for night a place to stay.
I stand there in a momentary silence, The picture that I see impressed upon my mind, I wonder if God painted this picture just for me, A gift for me that’s only mine. |
