Star Shine 09/28/2004

A star shines alone,
in a vast expanse.
It's tiny light has shown,
as time would advance,
its presence charted and scanned,
by earth's heaven gazers,
and Heaven's Eternal Creator.

From the brightest and the first,
to be seen in the night,
shines another, yet another,
with the same flickering light.
The first star seen no longer just one,
does not its neighbor know.
Where it lives it shines like our sun,
what we see not half its glow.

Countless numbers begin to appear,
heaven brightening with each pulsing beam,
dispelling the cold-black darkness here,
with a shimmering heavenly gleam.
The first star to shine above,
no longer alone in the sky's nightly design,
celebrates by shining down in love,
always the same since the beginning of time.

Psalms 8:3-4 When I consider Thy heavens,
the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the
stars, which Thou has ordained; ...what is
man, that Thou art mindful of him?
