Our Splendid God

Shirley A Mandel
He is generous
and magnanimous.
He is downright wonderful.
In fact,
He is more splendid
than the rainbow
that decorates the sky
with the vivid colors of promise.

And He is more splendid
than a brilliant sunburst
at eveningtiide
or a tender yellow flower
that has pushed it's way
through the rocky soil
to greet the morning light.

This splendid God is my inspiration
for all my songs.

All of them!

    God should be greater than all His creations. A poem from the heart! I like "the tender yellow flower that has pushed it's way through the rocky soil" . We need to be like this flower to survive, sometimes! Happy New Year, Shirley. - siva
