I look upon the stars above <br />A vast array of symmetry, <br />That reaches to the great unknown <br />And far into infinity. <br /> <br />Their light that now so softly glows <br />Did shine from centuries before, <br />And only now has reached the earth <br />From what our great ancestors saw. <br /> <br />Such a work of great creation <br />Nurtured by God's loving hand, <br />Too far and wide for man to venture <br />Or to ever understand. <br /> <br />The wonders of the universe <br />Lie hidden in this darkened sky, <br />Awaiting there to be discovered <br />Until then its secrets lie.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stars-76/
