Awesome Wonder...

(tonight was one of those 'awesome wonder' nights')

I have stood upon a shore

Where century-shaped breakers roar

And I have seen the winter yield

To summer’s sanguine clover field

I have held and I’ve let go

I’ve seen the melding ebb and flow

Of joy and sorrow intertwined

Beyond our mastery designed

I’ve seen the brawny bud unfold

To bleed its bloom in autumn gold

I’ve watched a child traverse the span

To see a boy become a man

I’ve stood beneath the twilight’s dirge

To watch the skyline Artist splurge

I’ve asked Him, “My God, what is man?

That You are mindful yet of him

I have lived to dream and dance

To taste the grace of second chance

And know for all not understood

The truth remains that God is good
