THE HAND OF GOD

Poetry can be a prayer
A delight in nature
So many things possible
To express the Hand of God
So mysterious
One wonders why certain things
Happen in the order they do
A problem is solved and
Anxiety ceases; we go on
Without a second thought
An undesired delay prevents
An accident; we are never
Aware of this phenomena 
Helping others in an
Unexpected way can change
The person’s outlook on life
It is in the little things, many
Of which remain unknown, that
Make up the essence of our being
Love one another is the message
Of the One who is the Light
Somehow the light gets in
And we feel the peace He brings
In our world of chaos 
We find calm in Him
To not know Him or to
Deny Him would be sad or foolish
Without Him we are nothing
He is the golden ring which
We do not have to reach for
Because He is always with us
How great is that we think as
We sing out with appreciation
How great Thou art
