J.P.G. Poems

Do you see what I see?©

By Joseph P. Gimenez

 2010 for the Red Hook Series

C

Once I looked up and swore I saw a face

It was hidden among the stars as the angels sang amazing grace,

I thought I noticed a smile or was it the twinkle of his eye

It took millions of stars to draw that beautiful face upon the midnight sky

 

The full moon showed up as the hours passed by

It lit up the evening like the fourth of July

The sun was no-where in sight for this was the moon’s domain

And there suspended in space throughout the night it would remain.

 

Then as the wee hours of the morning brought sunlight to the sky

There was a shimmer of light as the sun rose to the rooster’s cry

As I watched the day began to get brighter with each passing moment

And I knew that .

 

 It’s funny you know, how little things escape our glance,

 It’s also funny how we always ask the man upstairs for another chance.

Just remember that he is fair and just

And all he wants is what is best for each and every one of us.
