I saw God today, on a mountain high, <br />As the wind blew through my hair. <br />I saw God today in the clear blue sky, <br />I felt small and humble there. <br /> <br />I saw God today, in the desert sands, <br />As the Joshua Trees reached for the sky. <br />I saw God today in the arid lands, <br />And heard the coyotes mournful cries. <br /> <br />I saw God today in the desert sun, <br />And in the desert willow bells. <br />I saw God today, just one on one, <br />In beautiful stones and ancient sea shells. <br /> <br />I saw God today and he saw me, <br />I could reach out and touch his face. <br />I saw God in that vast dry sea, <br />And now my soul is full of grace. <br /> <br />I saw God today, in the great Southwest, <br />God saw my heart, and I saw his. <br />I can't still the thunder in my chest, <br />You see, that's where heaven is. <br /> <br />4/4/12 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-saw-god-today-for-my-pal-smoky/
