I was inspired to write this when I read a brief biography of Rick Husband, the pilot of the Columbia flight.

I stood many an hour
Gazing at the stars
Going round on their respective paths
And I, I saw God
In the vast universe He created

And then I ascended myself
Up into the sky
To be next to God’s universe
And I, I saw God
As looked down on the earth He created

And as I descended, God saw me
He loved me, and so He took me
On the wings of light and flame
To be part of God’s universe
And I, I saw God
Face to face

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee

Love -
One day when we all see God's face it will be so incredible. I like this poem because it is written like a journey, a sort of adventure. I too find God in the sky because to me it's vastness is the closest thing, although not remotely close to, the magnitude of our father. Can't wait to see him.

Thanx agian.. and God bless you - Tim

And when I look at the stars, also I see God.
Beautiful tribute.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Erica, God Bless You, sweet friend, this brought tears to my eyes as I am sure he really did see Him when floating up in Andromeda where His loving heart shines and telling him his loved ones will be alright and he'll always be with them! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Erica, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I love the voice that you give to Astronaut and Commander of the space shuttle Columbia's final mission, U.S. Air Force Col. Rick Husband. As I read, His life long dream was to be an astronaut. Since he was only four years old, Col. Husband did all that he could do and learned all that he could learn to fulfill that dream. What a wonderful thought you share here and what a truly exciting transition that will surely be from seeing God in His creation (The earth, moon, stars, galaxies, etc. etc.) to seeing God one day face to face. WOW!!! I can only imagine....

Thanks for sharing your poem and your thoughts here with us and God bless you my poet friend.

Outstanding, and I, I saw God. Very nicely done. I'd place a frame around this one.

Beautiful.
