As night is black and speckled <br />by a glittering of stars <br />stretching from here <br />to anywhere and somewhere <br />in the vastness <br />lays suns and moons <br />and planets without number, <br />so all the wonder of His works <br />hints incalcuble power <br />and reason without end. <br /> <br />The southern cross and other stars <br />guides me on the right way <br />just as sure as His words <br />is a shining lamp <br />that sets the path <br />on which my life should go. <br /> <br />So insignificantly small <br />I am against the vast universe <br />and yet He knows my name <br />and the creator of it all <br />made man greater <br />than the beasts <br />with the ability <br />to reason, think <br />and choose <br />and He loves me <br />in my humanity.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-night-is-black/
