Making her way over countless stark mile
Through empty black sea with light in her smile
Spinning and soaring. Her eager endeavor—
To brighten the night for some lucky observer.
Neither Fourth of July, nor New Year’s best
Could even come close; she’s more than the rest.
No, nothing created by man can compare
With this grand firework, wrought with great care.
The calming stillness of the night
Pierced by a sudden flash of light.
For only an instant, yet eternally
This blazing pebble has chosen to be
A beacon which shines through reflecting hours
Showing how close God’s home is to ours.
