Where do the colors now displayed
Up in the Heavens God has made,
Vanish to when the day is done?
Do they pursue the setting sun
And though it slips beyond our sight,
There's someplace at the edge of night,
That many others see this view
Of colored clouds and marvel too!
When sunsets die, I feel bereft,
But in the darkness that is left,
The stars begin to decorate.
Another symbol of how great
God's master plan for all mankind.
His gifts astound and closer bind
Each person who takes time to see
The beauty of his imagery!

This is beautiful Betty.  And of course we have to have the night to appreciate the beauty of the day and vice versa.  Joyce

'God's master plan for all mankind.

It is lovely indeed.

This is just beautiful..I love it!  It really shows that sometimes when one thing, or one "happiness" ends, there is always another door open!  Thanks for sharing!

Excellent job on this, the title caught my eye and I just had to read the poem!   The words are so great, nice job
