As I was strolling on one sunny afternoon,
I saw a picture in the sky,
A thrilling scene, which clings within my mind!
It all came to me when I raised my eyes.
‘Twas then I saw a vista, wide as Heaven itself!
The tiny puffy clouds as white as white can be,
against the dazzling blue,
which stretched so far beyond.
The sky was sprinkled all across the West!
My soul was caught by nature’s magic brush!
Held there I was, ceasing my quiet stroll,
I watched in reverent awe.
My heart, it filled with joy!
“How can it be?” I cried,
when sunlight moves across the sky.
A photograph beyond the common hand,
as blue and white combine to make
a portrait special in its depth,
and all my mind could cry was
“Thank You, God!”
for giving me this feast of pure delight!
