Just a Random Thing

I'm going through this book called "Knowing God's Heart, Sharing His Joy: A 31 Day Experiment".  Tis basically a 31-day devotional.  For today (Day 2), part of the application section was to compose a song, poem, or letter to God that expresses my reaction to His greatness, so I did & I just thought I'd post the results.

             Sonnet #13:  Pselm 1

Across this land I've walked & I have rode

I've gazed on works of man both old and new

From coquina walls where Spaniards once strode

To tower'd heights in New York City's milieu

From Point Reyes' lamphouse to Portland's light

Man's deeds do sure impress this mind of mine

But where in all this grand show of our might

Can a thing be found to compare with thine?

Our towns thou wipes away in mere minutes

Nature we've conquered? A mere foggy notion.

Our cities all in their great resplendence

Are naught compared with the deep blue ocean.

And if these are but things which you've created,

Then to thee much more greatness is fated!

*note: Pselm: a portmanteau of "Psalm" & "Seth", to mean "One of Seth's Psalms"
