Inspiration

I was very very inspired by going and reading Gama's blog. The poetry is wonderful. Made me go find my old book of poety and maybe share a little with you all. Now I am not near as talented as Gama. And you have to remember that all this poetry I wrote was in the 80's and early 90's when I was much younger. But...I was sitting here thinking and I wanted to share. The one I'm going to share now was actually published in a book (more encyclopedia like) of poetry. (so maybe I can say I'm a published poet. hehehehehehe) When I was so down in spirits in my high school years, there is always one thing that reminded me of how much of a gift my life was, and that was sunsets. So, I would go ride my horses and watch the sun set, and always feel better. This is a poem about how grateful I am for that.

A SUNSET PRAYER

With each sunset I see
A future just for me.
The sunset holds many things
In the colors sparkling like diamond rings.

It holds a beauty we all know
A certain beauty God wants to show
As the colors roll across the sky
You know another day has gone by

You want to reach out and touch it
To touch God just a little bit
Then you realize a sunset is something rare
But you can still touch God if only by prayer

You turn to God and say
Thank you for a sunset everyday
You know he must love you
To make something so beautiful, so true....

1988

well remember I wrote that back in high school in the 80's. LOL I may share some more if I become inspired to show how lame I was in some instances. :)
