GOD SPEAKS

In the sunshine and in the rain,
In the laughter and in the pain,
GOD speaks!

On the mountain top and in the dale,
In the quietness and in the gale,
GOD speaks.

In the day and in the night,
In the calm and in the fright,
GOD speaks.

In the dessert and in the sea,
Even at work and even in me,
GOD Speaks.

If you'll just stop and make the choice
To open your heart and hear HIS voice,
HE'll speak to you throughout your day
in so very many ways,
GOD speaks!!!

                                      NIGHT

When does it begin, I mean really begin?  I've finished my daily events-closed the door on today- It's still light and the birds are in flight.  I've watched the clouds pass overhead and turn gray- The stars begin to appear and sparkle, much to the delight of many, including me but..... I'm awake enjoying the wonder of the day......... or is it night?  

Now my ears are pleased with the hoot of an owl in the distant. Has that made this time into night? 

Isn't night suppose to be dark and fearful? Has another door opened?  It's beautiful, restful but not sleepy.
