Bedtime Story
Question mark moon
Each star is a period
in the lyrical miracle
of the story eternal

Thank the miracle-working God,
His love never quits.
The God whose skill formed the cosmos,
His love never quits.
The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations,
His love never quits.
The God who filled the skies with light,
His love never quits.
The sun to watch over the day,
His love never quits.
Moon and stars as guardians of the night,
His love never quits.

I think God must be a poet who wrote the uni-verse!
Did you write that poem, Stuart?

I like the poem.

Colleen, The penman of most of the Psalms was David the son of Jesse, who is therefore called the sweet psalmist of Israel.
It is appropriately called the “Psalm of Thanksgiving!”

Wow, saying so much in so few words. Congratulations!

This is a great poem, but for some reason I feel like there should be a picture beside on the right. xo

I wish I could have found a suitable photo for this. Didn’t have time to search for one and a night sky (with a certain ? kind of moon) is hard to capture.
