Bubbly clouds strut along in <br />a haven of soft sparkling blue, <br />their bodies plump, massive white, <br />feathery light. <br /> <br />Sunlight streams in through the cloud curtain, <br />She grazes past and sashays down <br />Into the sea of blue then sails further along <br />to the pending earth below. <br /> <br />Big oak leaves dance in approval, <br />Swaying in synch with the supple branches. <br />Harmonious hummingbirds perch lightly, <br />their song conducting a heavenly melody. <br /> <br />Little children play gleefully on the asphalt, <br />their modest brains taking in a school day’s work. <br />They switch from game to game, friend to friend; <br />all different colours like Skittles in a pack. <br /> <br />The shy teenage girl learns to speak up, <br />The boy with the once poor grades goes to college, <br />A child with cancer is given the gift of remission, <br />free to roam the earth as they choose. <br />The boy out on the streets passes drugs <br />and life in prison, <br />finding himself safely at the door of a nearby church. <br /> <br />A fresh day brings newly-weds a life together, <br />Years later, another head pops in the equation, <br />a beautiful life to behold. <br />The husband gets a promotion at work, <br />The wife glows with appreciation and love, <br />The new child gurgles blissfully. <br /> <br />God views his handiwork, <br />The sun bathes his back, <br />His smile lights up the heavens <br />As he gazes down in recognition, <br />Cradling the sphere of the world <br />In his strong hold.<br /><br />Alexandra Yeboah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-world-5/
