MIDNIGHT SKY

How beautiful, the midnight sky,
God's candles all alit.
No sound but for the whippoorwills,
As on my porch, I sit.

I take this time to say a prayer,
My list has grown so tall,
But I can't help but wonder...
Does He hear my prayers at all.

I see a little frog hop by,
He, too, I guess can't sleep.
I reach my hand to touch him,
Then quickly see him leap.

My world outside tonight is peace,
I wish so was my heart,
So many thoughts fill my mind,
As back and forth they dart.

Before I rise to go inside,
Once more I gaze above,
I look upon the starlit sky
And remember the God of love.

With His hands He holds the stars
And keeps them in the sky,
With His love He holds me, too,
And yet I ask Him why.

So quiet now, my heart is still,
And spirit feels at rest.
My God is in the heavens
And I'm so richly blessed.
